Hey Grant,

The username matching the password you configured during installation is
'root'. The 'my host' part of 'my host login' refers to the hostname of
the machine (configured in /etc/rc.conf).

cheers,
Koen

I have the password OK as I do remember setting it during the config stage, but I don't remember setting a myhost name. I have tried leaving it blank and inserting the password but that doesn't work. Any ideas? I have looked through the instructions a few times and get no clues.
