Possibly. I'll test it later when I get home. I thought I had actually
used that too. I actually had set both the root and my user's password
to the same as I was going to give the system to someone else. But,
being used to running SuSE (KDE) and RHEL 4 (GNOME), I was unaware that
Ubuntu defaulted to using sudo.=20

It's more the case that I'm not all that familiar with Ubuntu or
Debian. I actually used Debian as my preferred release until I started
to use SuSE in the 1998/1999 time frame.=20
