Hi all,

My mother-in-law (new owner of a Mac) has given me a CD she burnt of the
recent wedding of my sister-in-law.

When I tried to view them, my FC3 machine told me that the were 'owned'
by 'niamh' and group 'niamh'. I had given my daughter her own user name
on the machine. She has not had access to the CD or anything else -
she's 4 :)

I've deleted her user name and group (which was group number 501) and
still have no access to the images... I have no idea why it thinks they
should have been owned by her in the first place.

Now the CD says the images are owned by group 501 - but there isn't a
group id of 501????

I've no idea why it thinks thought the images belonged to niamh, nor why
it now thinks there's a group 501.

/etc/group shows no group 501

I then tried to make a group 501 and myself as a member but to no avail.

Stumped!

Any help most appreciated.


Regards,

Patrick
