Hi Larry,

>   The two in question are cfinch, and jbrown.

Ok, those are NOT reserved usernames like "info", "postmaster" or 
"webmaster" and should therefore be usable. Unless they are already in 
usage.

Check with ...

cat /etc/passwd|grep cfinch
cat /etc/passwd|grep jbrown

... to see if these names are already in use on the server. If they 
already are in use by Vsite users, then it should tell you the group 
name of the Vsite in question where they are being used.
