Password change
#8
Just a quick follow up to add some information. As far as I can tell, the name fix is cosmetic and not necessary if you don't mind the references to "rock", and yes it seems to fix all of the "rock" references. I meant the backup of /etc/passwd just in case something went bad during the edit. You can get rid of it after everything is ok.

I made the change because I don't know what other problems might be caused by having a badly formatted passwd file.

Also, I have been playing with other distributions (on sd cards) and one of them (can't remember which) prevents logging in as root. For that distribution, the default  rock64 user has to use the control center to allow all (root) users to login and make the changes.
