Plz take a look at these 2 posts below and try this by yourself. I'm using RH6.1 (vlock-1.3-2) and definitely I'm NOT using the same password for root and marcys :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 17 Nov 1999 10:44:51 -0500 From: Michael K.

I can't imagine what could possibly cause it, either, other than using the same password for root and for marcys, which I presume you are not doing... michaelkjohnson "Magazines all too frequently lead to books and should be regarded by the prudent as the heavy petting of literature." -- Fran Lebowitz Linux Application Development http://people.redhat.com/johnsonm/lad/ m4rcyS writes:
