Hi,

Did you use installpkg to install it?
I used pkgtool to install the shadow package.
What command did you use to 
set the password?

I use passwd.

Do the following to determine the actual path for root:
----------
echo $PATH
----------

/bin 
/usr/bin

are in the path

and in the path set by /etc/login.defs.





Cheers
Gilles
