This is a strange one. I've just finished a massive port upgrade on 5.0-release. I logged out of gnome (probably shouldn't have even been there, but whatever) and it noted that the versions of gdm were different, restart gdm or reboot. I figure it was as good a time as any to reboot. Well, gdm comes up and asks for the password - no username. Nothing I type gets me anywhere. I can go through the menus and enter the root password to configure the login manager, but I never get asked to enter the username, just the password. I've checked google, bsdforums and current, and haven't seen any mention of it. I have gdm2 as of Jan5, and can't get into a server right now to cvsup. Any thoughts? -Z
