Yes, several times. I have also successively: (1) restored the

(2) moved the newly created userid's file completely out of that

end of the file (i.e., after the new userid's entry), retaining UID
and GID of both. Each step with a reboot.
You can delete all the files out of the users directory, they will get
created next login.
Where does the account service find the info to fill these back in?
And, hand-edits get overwritten, then. (Just verified this.)
My original userid's SystemAccount flag has now been re-set to 'true.'
