Hi Martin,
Stating the problem is indeed important ;-)
Also helpful is to state the release in use.
Skolelinux 3.0 (Etch). I have a little test environment with 3
Computers. And it was the first time I added a user.
To isolate the problem first try to login the new user on the server,
then perhaps try to login an old user on the newly added machine.
Login on server succeeded. I have no older user, it is my first user.
Login on Client delivers: "Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your
installation".
Tried these:
running
startx /usr/bin/kstartupconfig
delivers
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.
After
rm /tmp/.X0-lock
, reboot and a new login, I got the same: Could not start
kstartupconfig. Check your installation.
Login over terminal delivers: No directory , login with home=/
Seems, home-directory is not mounted, or?

How did you login on these?
using root
I also waited some minutes, so I think it's no delay cause of the
cron job.
Good, that's important to mention and it shows you did some research :-)
I can't login with the username of the added user, and there is no new
dir in the home-directory on tjener.
Would be good to write the exact path where there's no new directory,
like:
/skole/tjener/home0/<new_user_name>
Which is where we have our users home directories, to me it seems as
if you're looking is the usual (and in this case wrong) place at /home/.
Oh sorry, there is a directory in /skole/tjener/home0/... . I will hang
my head low.
Courage, Odd.
Thanks, Martin
