    Did you use sysinstall to create your wife's username? I seem to
    remember seeing such a behavior in the past with one of my fresh
    installs. If root runs the cshell and all your disks are mounted, I
    doubt you're in sigle user mode.

    Just reset the root password using the command passwd and recreate the
    users with the command adduser. You should be all set.

    Hope it helps
