I am having a problem adding a user. All other users accounts are fine, but this one locks up for some reason. I try to add the account and it says. " 'username' is a user-deleted account." So I went into the /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and e-smith/accounts files and deleted all lines with that username. then tried again. It adds the account. then i try to reset password. it says "failed to set Unix password for account 'username' "
Then I can try removing the account from the web interface. it says "error occurred while deleting user." I don't know what happened to this account.
any suggestions would be great.
thanks

hi,
i have encountered the same problem, here is what i did to sovle it:
go to "home/e-smith" and locate the "accounts" then delete the user. you can now create a user again.

Or you can do it the proper way:
# /sbin/e-smith/db accounts delete xyz
where xyz is the user-deleted account
