Are you trying to do more beyond simply logging in/out of the account? If so, you will have to place any commands that you want to run during the login in the login redirected input file as well because the end of the file signals logout. If you don't redirect standard output, you will still be prompted even though the login does occur. What version of OS are you running? Maybe that's why we aren't having the same success. >It only seem to be a problem when deleting accounts, and immediately recreating >them after the deletion of the accounts. (And using the same login and uid >when recreating the accounts). > Have you tried placing the registry in maintenance mode, right after the account deletions, to force an queue update from all queues? I tend to do that whenever I have multiple registry operations (again, redirect input to rgy_admin with the file containing SET -H host, STATE -IN_MAINTENANCE, and QUIT) >Have you tested your script under the above condition?

(It does delete each individual person.) > Apollo has warned us against deleting the person without deleting the account first, although I must admit I will continue to delete via person until I see reason otherwise. I hope something above can give you more hope. I admit, its a shot in the dark. Let me know if you need more info....
