Manoel,
	No access from ssh. I had to physically remove the disk from the
machine, place it in another, fiddle the shadow file, then replace it in
the ARM machine.

	Do you know of any doco that explains how to add a user manually. By
manually I mean that I will have to remove the disk, place it in another
machine and then manually edit the appropriate files to add a new user.
I have no idea as to what I need to fiddle.
