I can assure you, sir, in spite of your block capitals, that it said just
"Sorry". Which also surprised me, I may say, and attracted Mr Oswelski's
attention too. I thought at the time it was a touch curt by Linux
standards. But, as I say, I reinstalled shadow and it is now back to
normal. So let us let bygones be bygones as I have no intention of
reproducing the error to prove what I say.
Thanks for taking the trouble to write.
Andrew
