I vaugely recall an issue with some distro's not allowing an empty password field awhile back ... What pisses me off, I phoned the normally "reliable" suppliers in town, i.e. those that will supply you a Seagate HDD when you order a Seagate HDD, and not deliver/send you a Maxtor or something else, and NONE had any drives for me. But not to worry, we can order you one on Monday ... , it is bad, that they don't have in stock (must have been a rush on HDD's), they cannot order it on Saturday, but only on Monday, , don't the sodding importer/dealers/main principles, whatever work on Saturdays? or is it just poor buggers like me who work Saturdays ...
