Yes.

Yes. I am fanatical about being up-to-date on all software.

Here's an interesting fact: The "rogue" machine does not officially qualify
to run Leopard, because its speed is only 733 MHz (a PowerPC G4 just behind
the cutoff for Leopard eligibility). I installed Leopard on it using a very
nice tool available on the Web, the name of which I have forgotten. The
machine runs Leopard perfectly well in every respect, as far as I can tell,
so I doubt this is the issue, but I thought I ought to mention it.

Lots of long numbers and other obscure information bearing no obvious
relationship to this issue. When I click the Get Info button on the ticket,
one of the things I see is "Status: Valid".

I have examined every entry in the Keychain on all relevant machines, on the
theory that an improper keychain entry might cause connection to use the
"wrong" user. I don't see any obvious problems, though.
