To create a new user, i either did it in the terminal, or in the gui. Ive done it before, so i know im doing it right. I tryed running system config authentication, but i dont understand which settings to change.

Hmm, that was the default. But the weird thing is.. is that it did work before. So i dont think it would be the UID. I was actually browsing around earlier for something like that haha .

Ok one more thing...Iam not on a Red Hat Machine now....but in the start menu isnt there a tab called authentication ?? I am not sure exactly where ?? Maybe in system or something like that...Maybe you could try tweaking that and see what happens !!!

Good night !! (Morning )
