OK - this works, but when I try to login:
login root
or login mcv21
it asks for a password, and then says
login: checking password: operation not supported
which means the only way I can reboot is the microsoft[1] button :(
the /etc/passwd in hurd is non-shadow, so I don't see what the problem is?
Thanks,
