Subject: Work Group Managers can't create users

We are trying to set up workgroups and work group managers, WGMs, but
have not had a lot of luck.  We can create the WGM but then the
WGM cannot create new users who own home directories.  It shouldn't
be a file security problem because the WGM has trustee assignments
for all rights to the directory where the new user directory is to
be placed.

When the WGM creates the new account the following error message is
displayed:
******************************************************************
SERVER ERROR
  CreteProperty returned an error code of 246

DESCRIPTION
  An attempt to add a new property to the bindery object "SUPERVISOR"
  failed.  The new property was "HOMEDIRPATH".

SEVERITY
  The current operation cannot be completed.
******************************************************************

Does anyone at Novell read this thing?
Is this a known bug?
Am I supposed to do something that isn't mentioned in the manuals?


We have made numerous postings about this problem but have not received
any replies.


Please either post a reply (since I doubt that we are the only ones who
would like to use workgroups) or mail direct to MCGINNIS@KUHUB.CC.UKANS.EDU
or MCGINNIS@UKANVAX for bitnet.

Thanks.
