I've got a sneaky feeling that the problem you have with dcopserver is due to you having lost control over your home directory. I would suggest checking /etc/passwd to see what your user id is and your group id. Then do a chown -R "whatever your user id is" /home/curtis, followed by chgrp -R "whatever your group id is" /home/curtis. I have had similar problems because I don't use the default user id and group id, and the steps I mentioned above worked for me. Good luck Eddie On Sunday 13 May 2001 7:56 am, Curtis Rey wrote:
Is there a built-in program to add new users and setup the /home/.<user> directory. Since the dcopserver took a dump (failed) on me I'd like to create a new user account/dir to use. Any suggestions or HOWTO's?
P.S. If someone can tell me how to fix the dcopserver, since now the /home/curtis dir is now the /home/curtis file (what used to be the dir /curtis is now a file 'curtis'). I would like to fix this because all my /home/curtis directory was setup the way I liked it.
Thanx, Curtis Rey
