     How do I change it back? Sid, I think it was you who told me how to
     change it back, but I cannot find the method :-)
    Anyway, I don't remember what it was!
    Can I change it to anything I fancy without upsetting other things?

    Change to? Can I use this to remove any password? How?
    man and info discuss removing users, and I see how to change the passwd,
    but not how to totally remove any requirement for a password.

    :-)

    I looked at your vuescan site. Looks interesting, but I don't feel inclined
    to get into paying for a scanning prog while I can't even get this thing
    going.

    Regards, and many thanks.
