Hiya,
Probably a part of the name Lusion is xnamed. Encountered the same
when an Immortal of the Realm tried to create a new test char. We
have moved to a new machine, a Linux box, and have complete root
access. That's why we x-named several 'system-depending' names, like
bin, usr, qmail, etc.
And suddenly the testchar, Sabinejr, couldn't be created...it
contained the x-name 'bin'.
> I'm having a problem with my xnames file. I'm not sure why, but if I xname

Hope that helps,
Chris
