Hi All,
I have suse 8.2 running as samba server, it has about 100 users from UID 500 to UID 604. Right now I'd like to reinstall it to suse 9.1. I notice since suse 9.0, UID start from 1000. What should I do so my users and samba users still can access reinstalled server without changing any password, directory and other stuff like printers ? What if I just backup /etc/passwd, /etc/samba/ and I put it back in reinstalled server ?
regards, Arie
Change the default during install of 9.1 to use the old range starting at UID 500. Otherwise this was discussed in the list when 9.1 came out. Don't remember the ways people handled large numbers of users like that though. Stan
