Bob, Hmmm... "PAM", that rings a bell faintly somewhere. I'm sure I remember reading a message here ages ago about that issue: something to do with "PAM" authentication being different from "etc\passwd" authentication or something like that. Maybe search the list archives for "PAM"?

I've shortened the password to 2 characters. Still getting the "The user name provided is incorrect" message. I don't know if that's just a generic "login failed" message, or it really *does* mean it couldn't find this user to validate it. This is a very frustrating problem as it's obvious that it works for others - just not me. Maybe it's a PAM issue. BTW - Too late. I have already spent hours researching this problem. ;-) ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ The information contained in this Internet Email message is intended for the addressee only and may contain privileged information, but not necessarily the official views or opinions of the New Zealand Defence Force.
