Dear Sir,

I have accidently deleted my username situated within my home
directory. /home/kvan168 is gone.

Currently I am receiving the following error message after numerous
attempts to rectify the situation.

 - Enable TCP/IP Networking for ORBit
 - Have stale NFS Locks 
   - due to system crash
