The machine that I was using for testing (lola-granola a.k.a. sarah-palin)
is login-graphical. Only installation was tested right away, but quentin
and lizdenys attempted to log in to it locally today which failed. There
was no error message displayed -- could this be a 'from' issue?
I was too busy to look more carefully tonight (as I have early rehearsal
tomorrow morning).
