Hey Jim, If something is wrong with the user replication process, please diagnose and fix the system replication process - do not manually do things. We've got all chances to let bug live by working this way.
Also, anything you fix in /etc/passwd in vcs-noshell will get overwritten twice an hour. If it still works this is probably because Akim didn't wait ~30mn for the changes to replicate. -- Sylvain On Sat, Nov 24, 2007 at 11:21:37AM +0100, Jim Meyering wrote: > Akim Demaille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Le 24 nov. 07 à 11:03, Jim Meyering a écrit : > > > >> Akim Demaille <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>> The problem is now that I don't seem to have write permissions > >>> on Automake [3].
