[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1681618, member: 71075"] I think being part of the staff group is normal - my regular admin account is. I see, from that log, that a password file can't be found for the user which might explain why no password seemingly exists (did you try no password?). I'm going to guess at this point that the user was created as part of an OS X server install and then not removed when you uninstalled it. While trying to migrate the user during upgrade, things probably went haywire. While I know that this isn't directly relevant at this point anymore, that user would indeed be part of Apple's Calendar and Contacts Server package (to quote [URL="http://calendarserver.org/wiki/FAQ"]them[/URL], "By default, Calendar Server assumes there is a user named com.apple.calendarserver on the system and it uses that account to authenticate requests between the calendar server processes and the mail gateway process"). I'm not saying this is the issue here but rather, I'll leave this here for the sake of learning. ;) [/QUOTE]
