First, a security thing: it's trivial, but you shouldn't be mentioning actual account or people names - that's the kind of thing crackers and other scum scrape. I would have said that userx and usery had the same problem, and userz had a different one. When I post, I'll even genericize the server name, or eliminate it, as I did when I gave an example of a sealert message from a log file.

So you now have only two people that are having problems, and both of them have the same errors?

       mark
--------

Yes, 2 with the same error login message and 1 with a different error login message.
Thanks for the heads up info.
