Unaddresed possibilities do include:
1. That you somehow were tricked into downloading and installing a
trojan app on the Slackware host. This is unlikely if you've stuck to
"official" Slackware update sites, and not even all that likely if

NO it does not, it says, "Authentication failure" and then sorry.
I can assure you, sir, in spite of your block capitals, that it said just
