Thanks Richard, and Verner too. I had to use lppasswd to create a root user! Imagine that!

Unfortunately, it's these kinds of things that are keeping Linux from gaining dominance. In order just to get your out-of-the-box distro to perform the most basic of functions correctly, you have to subscribe to mailing lists, news groups, and scour the internet and spend huge amounts of time configuring things that should have been done in the first place, But at least this one was an easy fix.
Would have been even easier, had you read the instructions during install. The information you so desperately gleaned from the news groups and mailing lists was right there in front of you. Guess your "ranting" is totally uncalled for. have a good day. No apology necessary or expected. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
