[cobalt-users] Re: Frontpage Extensions for Site Users -SOLVED-

["System Administrator" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Webtrader,

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

There was one extra linefeed after one username in /etc/passwd.  Kill the linefeed.  Problem solved.  Now I'm thinking of all the hours wasted and such... :)

This, of course, also explains the weirdness of why frontpage extensions worked for some people until your removed and readded their accounts.

Thanks.

Steve

>Steve,

Did you do any config changes not using the admin web interface, by any
chance? In particular, modify /etc/passwd?
The symptoms you describe below suggest that someone left an extra linefeed
in /etc/passwd. This would cause all new users after the line feed to not be
able to add FP extensions, while old users wouldn't have any problems.
