[Ti] .mac password (was, Safari beta 2 is out )

[Kynan Shook]

Are you sure it's 9 characters?  I think it should actually be 10 
characters long; this is because the OS not only masks which characters 
are in your password, it also masks the length of the password by 
always using 10 bullets (except while you're actually typing the 
password).
You can check whether your password is entered correctly by opening 
Keychain Access in the Utilities folder; your .Mac password should be 
one of the entries in there.

What happens when you try to connect to your iDisk from the OS?  What 
if you try connecting via the Connect to Server command?
