Re: Failed password for invalid user

[jesus san miguel <jesus.sanmiguel@gmail.com>]

Hi Andrey,

Thanks for your answer, but I am using password-less authentication
too (with public/private keys), so /etc/password is necessary, isn't
it?
Besides, user alias "miabuela" is working as expected. Why shouldn't
"administrator" alias work as well?

Best,
Jesus
