User Account Problem with 10.6.5 Server

Hi,

I am having the strangest problem I have ever seen,

Basically I am creating a new user on 10.6.5 Server username Katie Moore, when I create an account with any other name using the sam process it works but the username katiemoore doesn't login! I have deleted and recreated the account 3-4 times now and still doesn't work, also tried katie as the username and that works fine,

Anyone got any ideas? I am completely stuck now all help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Joe

katiemoore does not login to do what? email, MCX, fileshare? Are we talking BIND Macs and logging in? Is the user set to be a member of the right Groups? Can she not login from any Mac on the network. Need more details.

What do the server logs show when you try logging in as the problem user

Is the home dir set correctly

Hey,

Checked the logs on the console and it was coming up with an Audit Full message, the hard drive for the Mac Mini only had 3GB of space left on it I have cleared some space and also deleted a big chunk of the logs and seems to be working fine

Thanks for your help
