Under Gnome, "Applications::System Settings::Users and Groups" runs "User Properties". 
There, there is the option "Account Info::Local password is locked". When I activate it 
for a user (as a root), I can not log in to that account (this is a home PC). It is like 
it says "Lock User Account" or something. Is this what it is doing, and mentions the 
"local password" thing because it makes some passwd file thing?
