I'm sorry... minor errata to my message: when I said 'www' user, I meant to
say the 'nobody' user. Just got mixed up with the Apache user in other
platforms...
I know it can't be deleted through Voyager, but... they never said *how* it
had been deleted! Maybe somebody with long fingers was prowling in system
files...  ;)
Regards,
J.
