Could you to do # /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon --debug and see what that
does display about your account? Note: the frazier account is the one
that did not show up when I accessed "System Settings" -> "User
Accounts" It is my account from pre-upgrade. Changing to
frazier:SystemAccount=false has fixed the problem. Many Thanks!
