[Dxspider-support] Help request - unable to save user settings

[Michael Carper, Ph.D.]

Since sometime last fall, users making connection to my cluster (WA9PIE-2)
have been unable to save settings.  So every time the user connects, they
are greeted with:

Please enter your name, set/name <your name>Please enter your QTH, set/qth
<your qth>Please enter your location with set/location or set/qraPlease
enter your Home Node, set/homenode <your home DX Cluster>WA9PIE de WA9PIE-2
29-Jan-2019 0739Z dxspider >

In addition, users can't save filters (which, for the 800 - 1000 users that
connect here, this is a significant problem).

I've tried some things and haven't been successful.  The permissions are
correct.

Has anyone seen this happen before?  Does anyone know of a way to fix it?

At this point, the users.v3 file is complete rubbish and unimportant (since
it's not retaining anything anyway).

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Mike, WA9PIE
