hello all;

I have a weird question to ask. Recently ive created a new user for myself so i could start again on my mac (OSX 10.6.8) ive created a new user (old one : snn, new one Sinan) but somehow the account kept showing my old user in the prompt boxes default name for root priviledges.

I cant change this.

ive created several other usernames and they keep messing up also (showing other users' names as default) and i havent changed any system files that might damage this.

as you can see on the prompt window it says "Snn" when it should say "alem" but its not. whenever i try to create a new user named snn as username it says "kalem" or "Snn" again.

I have no idea whats causing this. Help please.
