The user logged in at the time was NOT root. As I described, I had
created a root password (I like su better than sudo -s, and local root
login is nicer for servicing a system than the potential alternative of
needing to reboot and chroot). It should then be a valid user in the
drop-down dialog OR the ability to enter other users should somehow
exist.
Additionally not displaying some reason for failure, and worse not
clearly explaining the failure to an uneducated home user who 'followed
some directions for enabling password-free login' (setting no password)
is not a user friendly design.

Unable to authenticate as user 'root' (I have added a password) OR as current
user (account has no password due to end user preference)
