Well when I didn't use -D it prompted me for a password.  I added -D, it 
doesn't prompt me (puts "gstarret:" in the passwd file)  Apparently it's 
a blank password instead of authenticating with PAM like I expected :(.  
Is that a bug?

Not sure what I need to do to get that working again.  Must have been 
affected by the upgrade.  I guess it's back to more "light" reading...  :)
