Password messed up

[Don <dulist@noark.net>]

Hi,

I have a problem (actually more than one, but let's tackle this one 
first) with my password on KDE log in screen no being accepted.  The 
password does work OK when logging in using command line / terminal.

I have 3 users, and all have this same situation.  Their passwords work 
on CLI but not on the welcome log in screen graphically.

Using 2.6.32-3-686 #1 SMP with squeeze/sid.

Never a problem like this previous to past month or so (cannot pinpoint 
date as I was out of circulation in hospital for a week late March).

Any help appreciated -- knowledgeable enough to be dangerous, so even 
though I'm not a newbie, don't assume I'm an expert.

Regards,
Don
