Hi all,
      I am using Anthony Rumble's mdm instead of uugetty and have found that 
it is much better and very easy to configure.  I am however having a problem 
with several dial in users and the login function.  When certain users attempt 
to login if they enter the password incorrectly on the first attempt all 
successive attempts fail for the same user login.  The user ids in question 
are Uvietgate and lone_wolf.  I am wondering if the uppercase character or 
underscore are causing problems? Any ideas anyone?

I have just installed the new slackware release and I know the Uvietgate used 
to work propoerly under the old system.

Cheers,
      Russell.
