No idea here; sorry. Well, some idea... If NetInfo Manager is showing
OS accounts, a * in the password entry means that there isn't really a
password and you have to su ("switch users", or what sudo does for you in
a more structured manner) from the root account (or under sudo management).
I tried to login to mysql using the the user "mysql" with none and every passwd i have, it would not let me in, good.
I also could not reboot and login to my system with this user trying anything i could for a passwd and trying, again, none.
So, I guess that's all good. yay.
Next post will be right behind this one...!
Thank you all very much, I have had good luck tonight!
