I dunno, maybe it's just me .. but I seem to be having a really hard
time getting out of the practice of typing my old root password. My
average since I changed it this morning has been about 1 hit for every
5 misses. Yeesh! Anybody else have this problem? (SuperUsers Anonymous

Nevermind, I'm riding on coffee right now.) Not that bad, and not for root, but, yeah, I know the feeling.... partly 'cause I rarely think when I type my own password.... the brain disenganges, and the knuckles do the typing. Half the time I don't know if I got it right until it says "login incorrect" or starts the motd..... and it *is* hard right after a password change, until the old knuckles re-learn what to type when the brain signals "password".... What's even more confusing is that I've got the same account on all the machines I'm responsible for, but three quite different accounts on machines I'm not responsible for (including this one).... getting my fingers to NOT type "glenns" when the eyes see "ogin:" can be quite frustrating at times.... -- Glenn R.
