I mentioned in the 10.3.5 bug thread that the update deleted one of the users on my iBook, it was a user created for use with postgresql. I tried to recreate the user but got a message saying that the short name I was trying to use was already in use. I went into NetInfo Mgr and deleted the original user, and got rid of the folder in /Users. I still can't recreate the user, I'm getting the same message. I need this user in order to be able to access the postgres data. So how does one completely remove all traces of a user? Thank in advance...
