4: Freeway Interactive Menu
DC 900-1333Q 77
The “shell” and “user” accounts are meant as fail-safe entry points which can be used to
login even if the Freeway software itself fails to start; they take the user to a plain com-
mand shell rather than into the Freeway menus. You should keep at least the “root”,
“shell” and “freeway” accounts, if possible.
The User/Password table is permanent and is checked each time Freeway is rebooted. If
all user names are removed or the table becomes corrupted, the User/Password table
will automatically be rebuilt the next time Freeway is rebooted and the default user
names and passwords will again be in effect.
