    Hi,
    I installed Fedora Core 2 a few days ago, hooked it up to internet behind a
    router firewall using NAT and closing all ports and therefore disabled the
    firewall in the security level setting.

    However a day or two ago, I noticed something strange when I switched to
    text login!! When the login screen appreas it gives this:

    login:
    ^
    I type in my user name and hit enter then it asks for a password as follows:

    Password:
    ^
    You probably noticed the lowercase "l" in "login:" and the uppercase "P" in
    "Password:"

    I remember reading something about this in a book about hacking so I wonder
    if this is normal or has my login program been compromised?
