Hi All,

I have had troubles with some users not being able to load a dock or toolbar.
I found away around this after many unsuccessful calls to apple and other tech people.

The problem lies in the /Library/Caches/ folder. This is how I fixed it.

Find files owned by suspect user (Networked user is not logged in)
machinename:/Library/Caches root# find . -user username

To move and backup these files
root# mkdir backup_cache

Drop into a tcsh shell to run a loop
root# tcsh

Run for-loop
[machinename:/Library/Caches] root# foreach i (`find . -user vice`)
foreach? mv $i backup_cache/

Now all the Cache files are in a backup folder the user can login again.
I'm sure you could delete them, I thought it safe to save them first.
