Title: recover deleted user
Post by: Kyle Bowerman on November 15, 2002, 05:30:14 AM

I accidently delete my primary account.

When I try to re-add the user from the SME console I get.

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

So I greped the /etc directory and removed all lines that had kyle in them.

I still get the same messaged.  The only alternitve I know of is to re-install the whole thing which I would like to avoid.  Does anyone know how I can re-add the user kyle.

thanks

Hmmm...  Well, you could try searching here first.  A term like user-deleted would probably do the trick...
