How did you change your username? My first guess is that when you log in as abc it is looking for a home directory /home/abc and, not being able to find it, ends the session immediately. Gnome (or maybe gdm or xdm) is set to bring up a warning if there are unusually short sessions. ___________________________________________________________ Does your mail provider give you FREE antivirus protection?
