trouble report

["Kathie Brosemer" <kathie@cleannorth.org>]

Hi, we've been having some problems with Peter's user account.

Logging in on Beru and on Owen Tuesday morning, the same 
problems on both machines.

Peter can't change his own password.

I changed it as superuser, but then Peter logged in with that 
changed password and tried to change his pw with the Windows 
change password function and the system stopped.  It left an 
hourglass icon which moves around when the mouse is moved, but 
nothing else happens.  The screen that accepts the passwords is 
still showing.  

So, we rebooted and logged in again under his same password I 
assigned, then tried to run Pegasus.  Set up user preferences and 
there are no folders at all in his account.  No inbox, nothing.  I 
added an inbox and told pegasus that should be default for new 
mail, then sent a test message from my pegasus to Peter, but the 
test message did not appear.

We don't want to spend an inordinate amount of time figuring out 
the pegasus problem if Mulberry is coming soon (please!).  But I've 
given it here in case the problems are related.

thanks for whatever you can do about this.

question: is it politic? Vanity asks the question: is it 
popular? But conscience asks the question: is it right?

is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular - but one must 
take it simply because it is right. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
