Ok, try it with the passwords <hello1> and <hello2>.  Then when you go to log 
in, put in the password of <hello> with any single number after it and let me 
know if the problem shows up for you because that is the password I was 
using.  When I look at it encrypted in the passwd file they look the same.  I 
also installed the latest version today which is newer than the one I was 
using before and it still does it.  I appreciate your time.
