Halo every one I need your advice

I would strongly recommend upgrading to SME Server 7.0 (See SME Server 7.0 forum on how to do that) as SME Server 5.6 is back in the days of 2002 and by now is out of date and not supported.

There are alot of willing people in the forums to help any newbies upgrade...

Have a look in the SME Server 7.0x forum and look at this link...

How much data do you have? if you have under 2GB then make sure all custom templates and contribs are removed << Important step <<

Then once you have backed up verify the backup and with any luck you could restore onto a 7.0

Move over to the SME Server 7.0 forum as not many people view the SME Server 5.x forum any more.

/sbin/e-smith/db accounts delete xxxx
where xxx = username

....but you should update for security reasons as well as sme7 being much more feature rich than sme5.6
