Yep... that did it.  

Perhaps I didn't set up shadow stuff correctly?  I kind of stumbled
upon it: I noticed references to it, and I typed pwconv (which I
recognized from my solaris systems) and things seemed to work pretty
happily (except xlock), so I figured that this was it.  Is there a
"convert me to shadow" jobber I might not have noticed?

thanks (and sorry for the newbieness--I've just been running debian
for like a week now).
