Yes, it could be a configuration file that is preventing log in. It could also be a running process in the users name that persists between logins. You can keep the data from a /home directory and delete all the config. Also remember to check that the user has no running processes when not logged in. I've had a case with KDE where the running process was somehow causeing the config to get messed up, so it was necessary to both recreate the /home and kill all running processes for that user (using the slay command is easiest). -- From Ben Green ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
