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?
Just went through this.
You need to make use of the chown command. I believe the following is a fair summary of how the command is properly formatted:
chown -R username:groupname /home/username/filename or * for all
Sounds like this might be the reason God created the find command. <g> 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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA3ga8jeziQOokQnARAk95AKCvr0l+8qWXabrBx934voJ38I9jIQCfVYhJ gk3rRT6SenjNpbA3eAxP2qc= =4lU3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
