By the way, when I click okay to the error the user does log in successfuly,
but I image this still affects something.  I also can't have everyone clicking
OK to an error.  

Also the users between the two boxes have been synced by simply copying info
for all users and groups above 500 in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group,
/etc/gshadow files.  

Also, this IS NOT the box I hosed last night with trying to update via yum
over ssh.  This is a fresh version 5 K12LTSP install machine.

Thanks again
