passwords



When I boot into Debian 1.3, it eventually prompts me for a password
without ever having asked me for a login name.  If I don't respond,
it keeps prompting me.

Also, when I initially installed, when I logged in as root, it
prompted me for a new password.  But no matter how many times I gave
it a (good) password, it rejected it.  Eventually I had to login
via a different virtual console, and edit the /etc/passwd file with
emacs.  (I selected password shadowing during the install.)
