Yes, the question mark was intentional.  I didn't really forget my passphrase.  
I changed my root password manually last night from the command line from a ten 
character password to a 49 character (58 counting spaces) passphrase.  I logged 
out at the end of a marathon session of tinkering with my network settings and 
now I can't log back in.  I *KNOW* I am typing it correctly... is there a limit 
to the # of characters a pw can have?  I mean, when I made the phrase last 
night did it actually register less than what I typed and therefore I'm 
entering an invalid pw now because I'm typing too much?  This sorta sucks 
because I'm gonna have to do a complete reinstall (yeahyeah I know I can 
mnt/etc/passwd but I didn't make an emergency boot disk).  If anyone knows 
either what's up with my system or another way I can solve this without a 
reinstall, please give me a heads up.

Peace,
Isaac
