    I have never used Fast User Switching on Panther in the combination you described. I have done this on Tiger and have never had a problem though.

      I guess I should clarify that I always use NFS, which behaves differently than AFP and SMB for network home directories.

      I personally like NFS as you can use it for Linux and Mac.

      You might try doing an su - to that same user your having problems with to see if you can log in from the command line and get a home directory. If you can that it would make it point to fast user switching.

        Good information. I'll try playing around with that next week.

        Thanks again!
