Need to change uid and gid

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the process of upgrading from Fedora-15 to Fedora-16, my uid and gid have both been changed from 500 to 1000.  I maintain a "mirror" of my system as backup using rsync, so in order for the mirroring to continue properly the uid and gid in the mirror filesystem have to be changed to match the main one.  There's no problem with my home directory, just use "$ chown --recursive 1000.1000" in the mirror of my home directory.  However there are a few odd files, like my crontab file /var/spool/cron/jonrysh which needs to have its uid (but NOT its gid) changed.

Where is a convenient script to do this?  There must be one, since this is essentially what was done in the upgrade from Fedora-15 to Fedora-15.

Many Thanks - jon
