Hello! Since I updated the system from Linux 6.1 to 6.2 I do have the same problem as you described. I thought the problems come from an incorrect update. Since I wanted to use a new disk, I had mirrored the system before the update. Afterwards the update could not be executed up to the end. After I had executed an update of the system on the old disk, everything was o.k. so far. Unfortunately there are problems when creating a new users. The error message "user does not exist" does not appear after a reboot. Also I would be pleased about a note to the recovery of the error. Regards, Willy Sturm Bryan Porter wrote:
Greetings :
I'm running SuSE 6.2 and am having some problems with YaST... if I add a user to my system, then try to send mail to that user, or su to that user, or do anything to that user, I get a 'User does not exist' error. HOWEVER, the user is listed in both the shadow and passwd files, belongs to a vaild group, has a mail spool and a home directory. I'm more that a little confused. :)
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Bryan Porter
