I'm hazzarding a guess here but I believe that most non-alpha-numeric characters are escaped when submitted and thus having one of these characters in the password will render the account inaccessable via the web interface even though the password is entered correctly. I am sure that I read during the install that the *admin* account required strictly an alpha-numeric password. The *setup* account might not have this restirction and the *root* account does not have this restriction at all.

Yes, IPCop was based on Smoothwall. There has been some discussion with IPCop vs Smoothwall and both should have roughly the same services, however, I've heard / read that Smoothwall is "lacking" in the support area and are concentrating their efforts on their commercial product and less on the GPL product. I don't recall the name of the Smoothwall guy but do a google search on him, (could someone in CLUG be nice enough the supply the name?)

Yep, it is based on Smoothwall (the install routines are incredibly
similar). And I have tried it in the past. I'm not too concerned about
this situation because if worse comes to worse, I can rebuild the firewall
in about 15 minutes. Also, I'm going to be trying a different firewall in
there soon (by swapping hard drives).
Part of why I was trying to connect to it was to check and be sure I was not
forwarding SSH to my internal network (I'm sure I'm not, but wanted to check
anyways), and to update the firewall if needed.
Thanks for the suggestion though. Shawn

| This is correct. You can only log in as admin.
