Upon rebooting, login behaves slightly strangely: login: root root Password: ... It repeats the username typed in (there was a time when it actually echoed the password as well - but that was ages ago [2.1.5?]). I somehow don't think that this login echo behaviour is intentional. Someone may care to look into it. Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen e-mail : jonc@pinnacle.co.nz Pinnacle Software Ltd Voice : +64.9.415.4460 Auckland, New Zealand Fax : +64.9.415.4250
