 I'm trying to use the SNS app to setup a clone Netinfo server.  Unfortunately,
after I click "Build...", the application asks for me to login as root on 
the clone machine (where I'm running the app).  When I give the password for 
root, the application just asks again (and again, and again) for the password,
without actually doing anything.

 I have been able to set up a master Netinfo server on another machine using
 the application.  I'm also certain that I am using the correct password.

 Is there a known failure here, or am I doing something else gone wrong?
