Hello Adolf,
hello Michael,
hello *,

oh, I perhaps should have read Adolf's mail more closely. :-/

Personally, I cannot login using my projects' mail address (peter.mueller(a)ipfire.org), either.
My username (pmueller), however, works fine. Looks like a changed LDAP search or something...

@{Adolf,Michael}: Can you confirm this?

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
