Topic: User and Group creation problem.

[tgminc]

Has anyone ever received the following message after removing an i-bay of the same name:

Error: the group "a-group" can't be created because there is already a ibay-deleted account of that name.

I have also gotten a similar message trying to create a user.

Is there something left hanging around that needs to be cleaned out?

Thanks.

Yes that is normal behavior... you can only create either a user, a group or an ibay with a certain name, it is not possible to create two items (ibay and group, user and group, ibay and user) with the same name.

The ibay deletion did not fully complete.

eg try
signal-event ibay-delete ibayname
db accounts delete ibayname

Then try adding the group

I have updated the FAQ, the link is now

Ray, it worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

I'll add this to my knowledge base.
