[CUBE] Multiple Users folders

[a l a n t h o m p s o n]

so, under /Users you have a directory called "ghost" as in /Users/ghost 
?

open the terminal and do an "ls -l" from /Users and see who the folder 
is owned by... check netinfo for that user as well; would be good to 
know if it matches a user in netinfo, when that user was created.  are 
any processes owned by this uid?  etc. etc. etc..  are there any files 
in this "ghost" directory?  (again, terminal, use sudo, or su, and go 
right in, do another "ls -la"  would be good to know if there are other 
files on your system also owned by the same uid (like in /etc, or 
/usr/local, or /usr/sbin)...  are you connected to the internet all the 
time?
