That's quite old OS And it's end of life for sure You should want to upgrade it.. About the problem - have you checked the permissions of the /etc/groups (and if the group is here) and /etc/passwd? Isn't the FS read-only for some reason? If you think that there are no problems with these files at all - you may want to send an email to support[at]directadmin.com

yes old i know and one day i will

for the files

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 837 Mar 28 01:08 group
-rw------- 1 root root 849 Mar 28 00:51 group-


is this correct?

and the users are made just do not show in DA.
