^^^^^

Does the above occur when invoked from the command line?

Does your /etc/passwd have an entry for "Owner"? If so, then please
post it. If not, then try the following:

$ mkpasswd -l -u Owner >>/etc/passwd

Note:

1. If Owner is a domain account, then use mkpasswd -d
2. If Owner corresponds to a Windows user with a different name, then
use the Windows user name instead above.

Maybe. Note that I do *not* have access to XP so I cannot debug this
myself.

The default bash prompt is user(at)machine(dot) If "Thought1" is your machine
name, then the above is OK.

No problem. Sorry, for the slow response time, but weekends are tough
for me to get near my computer. :,(
