Hi,

here are the questions i have:

1) is there a way to un-Retire an account? (the accounts get a Retired* for
a password when you use userdel (or deluser - i can never remember which) to
delete them)

2) we are using qualcomm's qpopper 2.50 (i think) and occasionally we get corrupted
mail files. it is always the first line of the file. it is not formatted properly
or missing all together. (the first line should be: From sender Thu Nov 4 09:28:30 1999)

3) while using sudo to add users to the system the accounts are added but they are
locked by the administrator. if using the same command as root they are not locked
by the administrator. has anyone seen this and been able to fix it?

all the user administration commands are done from the command line.
most are done by users (my staff) using sudo.

Thanks for any help.
