Hi, The data in home directories is just data on the disk; the actual user account/authentication data is kept elsewhere in the system, and that is never automatically imported. It should be feasible to write a program to do that, but I don't think that's something that's a priority for the Debian team. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. st...@einval.com < liw> everything I know about UK hotels I learned from "Fawlty Towers"
