Hi,

I installed a Leo server 10.5.4 and shortly after I had the admin home directoy unreachable at login !

Using spotlight I could see /Users/admin but they are white, unusable. Searching the forums I found about the applescript action to deflag invisibility and later about the chflags terminal command. None of those gave a positive result, nor did the disk utility.
I can login as root but /Users are still in this state. The system prevents me from created a new admin account, saying it lacks memory (I have 400Go free).

Any idea how to repair this ? Since the files are visible with spotlight it looks like something could be done.
