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, <VERY BIG SIGH> , don't the sodding
importer/dealers/main principles, whatever work on Saturdays? or is it just
poor buggers like me who work Saturdays ... <sigh>

Hoping it all works AS EXPECTED ... :-)
Enjoy!
