help with error message -- could not start kstartupconfig. check your installation.

["tlang80@gmail.com" <tlang80@gmail.com>]

Hello everyone,

I just put in skolelinux 3.0 and for some reason, after adding a user,
and then trying to log-on to a client workstation, the system
recognizes the user, but comes up with

"could not start kstartupconfig. check your installation."

Do I need to export home directories or something?  I thought all of
this was automatic from the default skolelinux installation.  How
would I go about fixing this issue?

Thanks so much,

Tim
