Something doesn't quit when you exit, and it prevents them from logging back in. I'd go to a virtual console, login as root, and kill off the processes one by one that should have been closed when that user logged out. That usually solved it. -- (This box runs FC5, my others run FC4 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
