here's another tidbit...

a few minutes ago i needed to add a couple more users, and since the gui
wasn't behaving, i went to the backpanel and tried to manually shutdown. 
nothing.  the buttons on the back of the unit did not work at all. 
completely unresponsive.  since i did not want to power it down harshly
(i.e., just hitting the power button or unplugging the thing), i used
"shutdown -r now" from the command line and it went down smoothly as it
should have.  on reboot, all is well again with the gui...

but for how long?  i know i shouldn't have to reboot the thing everytime i
want to access the admin functions.  ideas anyone?

thanks again,

mikey.
