Stringer RSS Setup Issue
Hey Guys & Gals,
I am interested in trying out Stringer RSS as it looks simple and cool, simple being the important factor. I am following instructions to set it up, however, I keep failing on one line. Same issue on Ubuntu 12-16, Debian 7-8 and Centos 6-7.
Instructions: https://github.com/swanson/stringer/blob/master/docs/VPS.md
Failure point:
sudo cp -a ~stringer/stringer/systemd-services/* /etc/systemd/system
Output:
stringer@rss:~/stringer$ sudo cp -a ~stringer/stringer/systemd-services/* /etc/systemd/system
[sudo] password for stringer:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for stringer:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for stringer:
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
Now, I know I am using the right password, any feedback on what is attributing to the issue?
Thanks in advance.

To be honest: If it says it's the wrong password, it usually is... :P
What I run into sometimes is a differenct character setting for my keyboard, so I think I am typing the right password while I am not.
Even did the copy paste technique.. not sure why its giving error. Could kernal version be an issue here? That's the only warning I got otherwise.
Don't think that is the problem...never heard about something like this, but that might not mean too much in this case.
So I guess you are also not able to login as root and simply change the sudo password there?
Logged in as root and able to change password, so the error is puzzling.
