The only password that exists is jjj's password. Therefore, the "could not authenticate" error message was perplexing. Yes, I checked the capslock key. Half an hour later I noticed some other things were acting weird on the box in question. Windows were redrawing strangely. Stuff was taking forever to respond. A solid black line suddenly appeared across the monitor, as though the LCD screen had a defect. In the end I decided to reboot (first time in about six months). Afterward I had no problem "unlocking" stuff with my password. Something was messed up. I'll probably never know what. I do intend to create a root password on the box, however. Just as soon as I figure out how to do so on Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
