I have seen this myself. What I have found is that the user will disappear after a short time, and I was not able to modify it. I assumed that it was a "cache" copy of the user account that I was actually modifying, but I may be wrong. If so, I would be glad to learn what it is.

Any ideas folks ? Mark Fagan TDA Esat Business 1 Grand Canal Quay Dublin 2, Ireland.
