My Karmic uid/gid is 1000/1000, while my Fedora uid/gid is 500/500. This adds a hiccup when migrating from one family to the other and retaining files from your home directory, or any files that you own anywhere. As a point of (maybe) interest, OS X assigns the first new user to (uid/gid) 501/20, where 20 is group 'staff'. - tony _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
