I lied <grin> First time I checked I grepped as a user...which would
not allow me to read the passwd file. When I did a sudo grep...I saw my
realname in the file was "comment" - don't ask how it got there because
I dunno. In addition I couldn't change it the normal way..so I had to go
in and actually edit the file. Weird.
Thanks Kent
