I did that, and now ALL users fail with the same user disabled error. 

I've searched the web for this error and there are thousands of 
references, most with different solutions.  One that I tried involved 
modifying the pam.conf file.  The recomendation made it so my box 
woudn't boot.  Fortunately I was able to recover the original conf file.

I'm afraid to keep trying solutions that may not work and may hurt my 
install.  Is there an easy answer to this?

I know Cyrus isn't related to this.  I was just trying to explain why I 
needed so many accounts.
