Hello David, > I am using the default fedora gui, when i try to log in as a user or > root, i immediately get the message "authentication failed" Apart from the problem you are seeing, you should be aware that logging in as root, especially to a gui is very bad practice. Log in as a regular user and su as necessary. You wouldn't want fe to catch some nasty JavaScript in your browser as root. Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
