OK, have just noticed these in the message log:

Apr 10 17:17:00 vortex pam_rhosts_auth[5450]: denied to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as sbryan: access not allowed

Could any of this mess be to do with the fact that the original mounted
drive was /hdb1 and the new one decided to be /hdb2?

Cheers and thanks for the help so far
