Well, I've fixed it by deluser'ing ajt and adduser'ing him again with --uid 1002 .
I'm a little curious as to what the critical difference between inserting lines into /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and using adduser are. Of course, I've just realised I've forgotten to add ajt to the right groups. It's a bit of a pain that group membership doesn't seem to take effect until one's next login. Thanks for all your help, esp Mike and Matthew. -- -- |Andrew Tarr | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://arc.stuff.gen.nz |GPG Public Key:- http://arc.stuff.gen.nz/andrew.gpg |_____ "There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportions" --Francis Bacon |~~~~~ |
