Feature added by: Jiří Suchomel (jsuchome) Feature #305724, revision 1, last change by Title: Allow to take over old users by home directory openSUSE-11.2: New Priority Requester: Neutral Requested by: Jiří Suchomel (jsuchome) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: (from bug reporter:) I have a seperate /home partition and whenever I reinstall/upgrade I just set up the same user as before and he gets assigned the same uid (1000) so nothing gets broken. But I guess with more users and corresponding home directories this aproach begs for wrong permissions, so I suggest the following: In case /home isn't empty it could take all directories available and list them as users to specify their data (Name, login, passwort etc as usual) and then assign corresponding uid.
