Well, that seems to leave only one option. Change the Unix ID of the user in question to 1. How do I : Change the UID of the user "daemon" to something else (say 11), change all the ownerships on all the files owned by it on the system consistently and make sure that no processes crash. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
