An interesting workaround, but should we consider this a "fix"? As this
would require modification to this file each time a new workstation is added
to a rapidly growing network. The Qube should work without this file mod,
and will work if I re-build the system, then re-create all the users. My
suspicion is that we have a file corruption that occurs when the networks
DHCP goes down, and the Qube is unable to recover.  Any thoughts on what
file/s may be the culprit?
