oops that is in the manual. I have to admit I got a bit confused. I thought that you built the pdb once when you set the server up for the first time and then you used au to add users after that point. -ben > The process of adding a user is a bit messy right now (we are working on > much improved handling of this). > > First you must add the user to user.coda, and possibly groups.coda (see > user_coda (5) and groups_coda(5).
