Just upgraded to Tiger, but now when I create a new user, only the user's folder appears, but the account doesn't show up!! Can't login with it, doesn't show up in the account preference pane. All I get is the user I had in Panther that it loaded in.

What gives? Tried repair permissions, but no help.

Bug? Reinstall? Help!

Fixed it, booted from Install DVD, did repair permissions from there. Didn't change anything, but did the trick. Found the solution on Apple forums - seems like a common problem!

Thanks.
