HiHi Vadim!
You can specify exact UIDs for each user you create with adduser.
Problems start to arrive only when existing (old) UIDs or GIDs
interfere with (new) system ones. And even in this case something
like this will do the job:
set -e
cd /home
for U in alex joe paul; do
I thought about doing something like that and IFF this'd been a major
enterprise situation I certainly would have. Turns out that I threw
away a few old test/junk accounts and only about 30 do do manually.
Adduser took about 30 seconds each just running down a list of names,
about 10 mins to create the chown script and 10 mins to run that. The
real advantage of manual adduser was that I wanted to stick with
*absolute* 'uname/user name/user
account/whatever-detail-compatibility' with anything the formal
process might be doing along the way, rather than kludge/fudge/massage
the ownerships, passwd/group files. Being unfamiliar with OBSD I
thought the -risk- of missing something along the way or otherwise
screwing something up was pretty high.
TY and have a :) day!
Jim
