I changed my UID to 501, long while back, to match the one on my Mac, so that nfs works smoothly.
This was not a big issue before Karmic. After changing my UID, I would not see my username in 'Users and Groups', but I never used it regularly anyway. I wish I knew the /etc/login.defs trick before. I noticed it in Karmic because the default GDM/Greeter had a face browser when I ran it from the LiveCD, but it was absent when I installed it on my computer. To me, it is an inconvenience. I would like to have the Face Browser. -- Greeter does not show legacy users with uid < 1000 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
