I once encountered an extremely irrate tech support guy in the hall who had just been on the phone for several hours with a customer. It seems they just could not get this very simple thing to work at the customer's end while helping him install some software. Long story short, the customer was just unable to gain superuser access to install the code. They kept telling him to login as root and execute this command. But he continually got invalid (you know, like crippled) user. Finally, the tech support guy said you are typing r-o-o-t right? And the customer says, well, no, "root", r-u-t-e.
