I've seen that from time to time, on FC4 - FC6 (I haven't tried FC7,
yet).  Something doesn't quit when you exit, and it prevents them from
logging back in.  I'd go to a virtual console, login as root, and kill
off the processes one by one that should have been closed when that user
logged out.  That usually solved it.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
