Jorg,

   Thanks for the feedback.  I'm almost positive I ran "kioskuseradm extend" on 
both boxes and did NOT just copy /etc/passwd entries [I was successful doing an 
"extend" on a different FOG prior].

But, it's good to know at least how to fix the problem.  Next time I run 
"extend" I'll know how to check that it really succeeded.

Thanks again.


Scott

This sounds as if the update on server 01 was made without properly using 
kioskuseradm extend (maybe by copying passwd file or entries?).

In any case, kioskuseradm maintains its configuration metadata (the info shown 
by kioskuseradm show) in a separate place and that data was not updated when 
the extension accounts were added.

kioskuseradm configuration is local to each host with no automatic replication 
of configuration or changes.

The latter should be enough and can easily done by using
    kioskuseradm cleanup
