This AM a user told me that she once again was missing from the
server's list of users. I checked and she wasn't on the OS X list
or the OS 9 list. I went into WGM and she wasn't there! I went
into MM and she wasn't there! I went onto the server and looked in
the Teachers folder and her home directory WAS there!
I renamed the old home directory, created a new Upshaw user under
WGM, but for some reason it wouldn't create a home directory.
I could see her in the list of users and logon as her - but no
Home...go/Home took her to local HD.
I then renamed the old home directory back to old name (thinking
that since it didn't create a new one, I'll try to get it to use
the old) and pointed WGM Home for her to it. Now when I log her in
it says "You are unable to logon to the user account Upshaw.M at
this time...error occurred...home folder for this account is
located on an AFP server. Contact your system admin"
The problem is that the directory is owned by her old UID (user ID)
whereas she now has a new UID. You need to change ownership from the
old account to the new account. Go to her home directory with
Terminal, be sure you are in that directory, and as root or with a
sudo, do a
# cd new_user_name
# pwd <-- paranoia
here to be sure you are in the user's home directory
# chown -R new_user_name .

Any ideas on this? Pretty weird that her user account just
disappeared from WGM and MM...and now not being able to re-create
her...??
Anyone seen this? Anyone have a solution? This all started with a
married name change leaving he ome dir with the old name. The
user disappeared from the osx client user list...then were not
found on the WGm..User was recreated with correct name and original
hd was renamed with new short name. Permissions were changed.
This seemed to work until today when the name disappeared again.
