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 --=20 Jerry Feldman <gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
