Users and Groups

[goiggles]

I upgraded to hardy and users and groups has lost my user accounts i can still login to these accounts but can't change them from users and groups. The only account listed is root.I'd rather not delete these users and recreate them if at all possible. any ideas?

Try this one, maybe it could help:

sudo adduser

then input the username you had been using.

[goiggles]

adduser: The user `xxxxx' already exists.

if i do this from within the gui tool it complains the same way.

goto
system > administration > users and groups

once there... just add the permissions u want to to the particular users

[goiggles]

thats my problem i cant do that since they arent there for some reason. the only user listed is root.

I have a similar problem... I can't modify files or group permissions they tell me I'm not the owner or aren't accessible.
