This list is now defunct. Please subscribe to XFree86.I recently change my user number from 501 to 500 in the /etc/passwd file on a new PC I am setting up. I did this so my user# is the same as on my old machine. I used chown on all files with user 501 to make it 500, including "hidden" files such as .Xauthority.
However, when I tried to run X windows, I got an authorization error involving .Xauthority. Somehow I solved this problem or at least it went away (I don't know how) but know I have the same problem with KDE and .ICEauthority. What should I do? What is the proper way to change a user's number without confusing X, KDE, and other stuff? I am guessing I forgot to run something to tell everybody that 501 is now 500, but I don't know what that something is. --Alan _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
