I changed my password using passwd...and now some apps want the old
password...others want the new one!
For example when I do sudo aptitude update in a terminal sudo will
only accept the new password...however if I run Synaptic...it will
accept only the old password. What's going on here and how can it
be fixed ?
Perhaps synaptic is asking for the password of the normal user --
not
the password of root -- in order to access the keyring?
There is no root account on this box. It has always asked me for my
password as I am the first user. As I said this business didn't start
until a changed my password.
Unix dosen't work without a root account.
