Hi, Chris,

Thanks for the information.  As for fs_passno, what you're seeing is
what was put there by the install process.  I'm assuming, if it's not
needed, that the proper value would be zero?

You have confirmed what I thought was correct.  But trying it the first
time failed.  My login acted as though the user was valid but login
didn't complete, returning to the login screen.

Since I was just able to reconfigure fstab, and it worked, I'd say I
probably fat fingered something and just didn't notice.

In any case, many thanks, again. ;)

Bob
