Let me quote from the illustrious Charlie Brady, who said, and I quote

"That indicates a problem when you deleted that user - it left a line in
/home/e-smith/accounts which looks like:

username=user-deleted|First|John|Last|Citizen|....

Remove that line from that file and you can then re-add that user.

Or you could take a short cut and change "user-deleted" to "user", then do:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event user-create username "

End of quote. Ha!

For an editor, use pico.  It's easy, and it's installed by default.

And it's close to joe/Emacs, but annoyingly different - ^K is "kill line",
not "kill to end-of-line". :-(
