I Just looked back and saw this post about a similar situation. What if I do the following.
cp -rf /home/oldusername/evolution/ /home/newusername/ chown -R newusername /home/newusername/evolution chgrp -R newusername /home/newusername/evolution If this will work... how does it work. I mean.. I get the concept but what are all the switches.. "-R" and "-rf". I got this from a post by [EMAIL PROTECTED] Will this work?
