Hello,

I had trouble logging in to a Debathena quickstation because (I
eventually figured out) somebody had selected "ignore duplicate key
presses" from the disability/usability menu of the login screen. This
was not very clear while typing my password!

You might consider reverting these settings to the defaults if there
has been no activity for some number of minutes.

Best regards,
Keith
