-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I just upgraded to 9.1 pro on my machine. I have some static partitions with data that I don't reload. In the past, that hasn't been a problem. Lo and behold, I found that I don't have access writes to these files anymore. Apparently, 9.0 and before set the initial UID to 500; 9.1 sets the initial UID to 1000 - I no longer own the files. Obviously, I can chown from root as I find them - but that seems very kludgy. This causes several problems. First, newly created files will not be available to me from my laptop running NFS - it has SuSE 9.0 where my UID is 500. This is in addition to my not having access to all my files when running on the machine I installed 9.1 on. Does anyone know a way to (a) change the UID of my existing user and (b) globally change the UID of the files created by my user under 9.1. This needs to be done selectively ... if the file is owned by UID 1000, then it needs to be changed to UID 500. Anyone know how to do this? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA3fe0jeziQOokQnARAiLxAJ4m9HxmqP8w2M7IXfy3n0S1Ky5LDgCgm/ti OUlV0cBgJwuuAwGw1oJLRu8= =TYRs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
