I actually created the user 'test2' after realizing that I was having a
problem with rmuser.

everest# ls -al /home/test2/
total 75
drwxr-xr-x     2 test2  users    512 Aug  1 12:45 .
drwxr-xr-x  4282 root   wheel  75264 Aug  1 12:54 ..

everest# cd /home/test2/
everest# pwd
/home/test2

The user is still intact!


Thanks
