Some how I have managed to set up a server so I have two different
passwords for my same user account.  Only thing I can think that I have
done is add a different password when I put samba on.  I have removed
samba and can still logon at the console with either password.  This is
bothering me, mainly coz I don't know why/how it is happening.  This is
a new install and box isn't available on the Net (although I would like
to put it there hence wanting to find out what's happening).

at the console or using ssh I can login as user "steve" with psw
"abcxxx" or psw "abcyyy".  The passwords are similar but not the same.

Any ideas where I should be looking for this, "shadow" only appears to
have one password in it.

Thanks
Steve.
