[MikB <michel burnett tiscali co uk>]

Help please:

FC7/KDE
- root & user1 can login perfectly
- Any "newuser" has /home/newuser with rw access for user only (r access  
for its group)
- login of newuser fails "/home/newuser does not exist"
- nxt msg "is gdm accessability registry was not found"

- newuser deleted with associated directories and then recreated => no  
change to problem

howto debug this prob would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike
