Hi Chris,

Do you have root (or sudo) access to add me as a user on box4? If so, can you
please add me with an account similar to what I currently have on box3:

  lewis at box3-squeak:~$ id
  uid=1003(lewis) gid=1003(lewis) groups=1003(lewis),27(sudo)
  lewis at box3-squeak:~$ grep lewis /etc/passwd
  lewis:x:1003:1003:David Lewis <lewis at mail.msen.com>,,,:/home/lewis:/bin/bash
  lewis at box3-squeak:~$ grep lewis /etc/group
  sudo:x:27:kencausey,chriscunnington,lewis,leventeuzonyi,bertfreudenberg,frankshearar,chrismuller
  lewis:x:1003:
  lewis at box3-squeak:~$

Thanks a lot!

Dave
