While the password on the account 'adamw' may not have expired, it appears that the password on the account 'root' has expired. Fixing this would probably involve booting in single user mode or some such fun. Password expiry on root account bad, unless you're certain to change it before expiry occurs. -- Jon Teh -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
