Did you use 'changeme' as the password? Coda isn't using the /etc/passwd
passwords, for one because it uses the password as a shared secret and
therefore needs a cleartext copy of the original instead of a hash.
Which is also one of the reasons why Coda passwords probably shouldn't
be the same as regular account passwords. When an auth server is hacked,
the hacker can recover passwords from of the Coda password file without
having to resort to password guessing attacks.
