I was already logged in as root doing some system maintenance and didn't want to su to my user account. Just being lazy. I usually login as a user.

You are of course correct I meant LM and not NTLM. How could I have forgotten that the LM hash is split? That of course answers the number of hashes issue. I swear I don't usually make these kinds of errors. Maybe it is time for a vacation. A real one where I am not near a PC, laptop, the internet. I might go into tech withdrawal, but it might be worth it :)
Thanks for helping the forgetful person. Please keep up the good work.
