Too bad I didn't see this thread earlier. I had changed my password, and suddenly I was unable to log in from any system except the one I used while changing. Neither the old or the new password worked on any other system. I finally thought of checking the keyboard on the system I used when changing the password, and it turned out one character I almost never used (I mostly type email and shell programs on that system) didn't work... Turning it upside-down and shaking it was enough to clear up the problem. The password with a missing character was actually even more difficult to crack, and quite easy to remember after that episode, so it was kept for a long time :-) birger -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
