SV: [newbie] UserDrake problem
This has been on the list before - a quick and efficient way of dealing with it is to use kuser - without all the MCC hassles. Or even better open up a console window as root and type adduser (or useradd) and then passwd /Anders Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

You could write a very simple script and call it summat like MyUserDrake that deletes the said mentioned files and then runs UserDrake.

[newbie] UserDrake problem
Whne accessing "Users" in the Mandrake Control Centr, I get a message: "Cannot lock usr lib, file /etc/ptmp or /etc/gtmp exist", and then cannot access any of the functionality. The file /etc/gtmp exists; if I rename it, I still have the problem. Any ideas?
