No. This was a series of excessed Dell boxes that I reclaimed. Fresh new installs, *not* an upgrade, and then the user's home dir was created and then the user logged in. There are other boxes loaded the same way that does not have this problem. The only hardware difference is that this box has an extra network card card (e1000g0) put in, the native onboard is an iprb0. This is a local login, not remote desktop.
