Hello, I thought I've seen the very same problem on this list before, but can't find it browsing the archives.
After setting up the dial-in box, and getting used to bash, I now went on with installing woody on my secondary office machine. Everything worked fine, until Gnome started and presented its own login window. I can't login there. Changing to a console, the login there works, but entering the username and pw on the graphical login just returns me a "Authentication failed". I'd like to point out that I mostly followed the standard installation procedure. I chose "desktop environment" in tasksel, then picked Emacs in dselect, and threw KDE overboard (by kicking a random deb that had KDE in its name, as well as anything it depended on). After that, I worked through the different scripts the installation process presented me. At some time, X (Gnome) started and that's where I'm stuck now. I can't imagine how or where I've messed things up. I also don't know how or where to fix it. cu, Schnobs
