    I am running Mac OS X Server 10.6.3, and the last 4 users I created don’t show in Workgroup Manager (or Server Preferences). They were there originally but now they are gone. They do show if I use dscl to list one of the groups they are members of. Also, these user accounts do not seem to be working. For example, trying to connect to a share point for which they should have access does not work with these account.

    Two questions:

    (1) Why would these 4 users be mysteriously not showing (or functioning)?

    (2) What’s the syntax for using dscl to delete each of these users, so that I can then re-create them?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks!

    I just did some more testing, and actually I can add and remove a new user with dscl, but I cannot remove any of these bad ones. I get an error that says

    delete: Invalid Path
    DS Error: -14009 (eDSUnknownNodeName)

    Also, if I “list” all the users, these users do not appear, but if I “read” specific groups, I see them listed. Also, in Workgroup Manager I saw “Not Found” references to these users.

    Is there any way to flush out references to these users so I can create them again?
