Whoever in SuSE / Novell that had the bright idea of making this change without warning us at the beginning of the installation process should be nailed to a wall with a hawthorn stake through his heart. Or at least made to work in Windows for the next 12 months as penance.
12 months that all Hummmm light sentance or what 12 years more like it .
Had an upgrade been done, it would have preserved Uids perfectly, but since a new install was done it took the liberty of using the new standard. Its not just a SuSE thing. Its the new recommended standard.
I did an inplace upgrade from 8.2 and all is well in UID world.
That part is right, then. Actually, my only complaint is that they didn't tell us "Hey! We changed things." The change itself is no big deal. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA4C5OjeziQOokQnARAmeJAJ9xiTKEDPN9sTshkY5Zi+U89UcToACff/Wg is3vO3K/AcL7HxWvHV2lCB4= =E2AD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
