Hi,
  I just tried to make two local accounts on my computer.  I thought I
made them pretty simultaneously, and was surprised to find that one of
them seems to work, and the other doesn't.  One of the accounts gives me
a "Password Incorrect" error whenever I try to log in.  If I remove the
password field from /etc/master.passwd, I can log in w/ no problem.
Once this is done, I can do everything fine in my new account.  I can
even change my local password a couple of times.  However, if I log back
out and in again it gives me the same problem.  I am using a different
UID and GID for both accounts.  Any suggestions???

thanks,
-jonathan
