 |
|
Just installed. Newbie to Deb - old-hand with RH and Mandrake so, on a bit of a learning curve.
Absolutely love it so far.
Xandros has setup my user "mpierce" as id 1000. I need to change it to 501 so that it will access everything on my Mandrake9.0 server without me having to reconfig everything.
Is this possible and how? |

| Run this as root: "useradd -m -u 501 mpierce". Run "man useradd" for help. Run "smbpasswd -a mpierce" if you want to use this user for windows share. |

Thanks for quick reply!
xandros:/etc# useradd -m -u 501 mpierce
useradd: user mpierce exists
Now, I could probably edit a few files and accomplish the trick but I need to ensure that I get everything and am not locked out ie:
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
/etc/group- |

| Try "usermod -u 501 mpierce" for existing user. |
