Anyone else noticed this or am I just repeating what people already know?

That's what that was! I had installed OpenSSH, then went about my business, installing other apps. At some point I rebooted, and when it came back up, I was asked to enter my password. I had already did the sudo gainroot, then changed my password from the xterm, so I could ssh in. I had a moment of confusion, but then continued with my install fest.

Thanks!
