The only thing that we have found to work around the problem is to sort the file such that any login names which are similar, have the shorter of the two appearing first. ie: tess:knotijv98erti:UID:GID:Tess Ting:HOMEDIR:/bin/csh tesst:wksjt84d8hj:UID:GID:Another test account:HOMEDIR:/bin/csh when the shorter username is found first, there is no problem. Sorry that I don't have a fix.... Annadiana
