[Wien] password problem

[Laurence Marks]

One comment: capital letters in computer/user names create chaos, the
unix philosophy is to ALWAYS use lower case for these. You may be able
to get around this by using the IP number (instead of Penelope),
localhost or 127.0.0.1. However, other things in the OS may be broken
and it is probably safest in the long term to change the computer
name.
