Q: User accounts disappearing on 2 different client machines linked to XSAN?

We just recently got the XSAN up and going. The problem we are having is that every now and then when we restart our computer our user account will be gone. The only way around it is to boot from a CD and reset password and recreate the account and relink it. Its a pain. Sometimes we have to repair our Mac HD disk as well. We use the XSAN for editing. Does anyone know of a setting or anything that would cause our computers to freak out like this? I havent been able to get any real answers for this issue.

    May have found a fix.

    Updating the operating system should fix it.

    Update from 10.6.5 to 10.6.7: "Fixes a rare issue in Mac OS X v10.6.5 that could cause user accounts to disappear from the Login window and System Preferences"
