Change the UIDs/GIDs so they match. Since pclos is lower than the Ubuntu UID/GID schema, it won't hurt anything on the pclos box to change your user there to match the Ubuntu UID/GID. You can also do this:
edit file /etc/login.defs with your favourite editor and find and replace this line : UID_MIN 500 GID_MIN 500 The 1000 as the UID/GID seems completely arbitrary, and Ubuntu seems to be the only one doing it. Convention has it that UIDs/GIDs <= 100 are for system use. Anything above is non-system-priv'd. > Cheers, Gene Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
