Thanks for the suggestions. I do have root access and I had already tried sudo passwd .... and I get the response "passwd: unknown user (user2)". That is why I had also tried "System->Administration->Users and Groups" to add (user2). The response to that was "Home directory already exists". I have tried to change the name of that directory without success.
So it seems that I'm still stumped! Cheers, Keith. --- Keith Bowerman, Prestwood, south Staffs, England. Using Ubuntu 8.04 on a Linux only machine -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
