users are no longer being created in the directory split but are all going

If you use MySQL I would highly recommend doing a clean install of all
your domains and user information. Setup a new server and migrate using
scripts to reload all domain/user info.
An in place conversion has proven problematic for us with getting
acurate dir_control information into MySQL.

Good morning,
I am happy to say that I think I understand how dir_control works in

have an effect I di understand. I will try to get something together in
