Then what was I looking at 3 hours ago, looked like a login form to me,
wanted my username, my real name and my email address. That popped up
and denied me access when I clicked on add bug in the upper right corner
of the screen? It flat refused to let me proceed without a valid login.
Yet you're telling me it should sail right on by just by clicking on the
add button?
One of us is full of it.
I'd much rather believe your ethernet chips MAC is your passwd because
you've told it to keep you logged in.
But I am all for hammering on this till it does work...

It denied me access. So what the heck am I supposed to do next? I'm all
ears.
