I'm happy now with kuser, so many thanks, but you got me thinking and I sniffed around a bit more. I found that if I start userdrake from mandrake Control Centre, which is what I always previously did I got the problems I outlined, but if I launch it from a root console it works fine. Looks like some sort of interaction between MCC and userdrake is screwed. Many thanks Pete Ardnamurchan Scotland
