Thanks for replying. Near as I could tell, he suspected that the authenitication problem was the result of there being "too many" users. Also, he was somewhat suspicious about whether the fink package that installed those users handled it correctly. He was absolutely sure that the handling of users by Apple software would be done in the correct Unix fashion (which I don't know anything about, so I can't evaluate that validity of his belief), so any problems associated with users and authentication is the probably the result of third party software (i.e. the fink package that installed the extra users). I'm not as sure as he is about that, just on general principle. Apple doesn't need help from third party developers to have problems.
