Brian,

You are the man. All I had to do was remove myself from the System Tools
> Manage Users and Groups and confirm that I was added in realmconfig,
and I was able to have a successful login. I hope to be able to come to
the meeting tomorrow night. Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind of an interesting quirk that dually adding yourself in both
managers will frustrate your login.
