I used preupgrade and my id stayed at 500. you could have changed '/etc/group' and '/etc/passwd' to set your uid:gid back to 500. to change 'odd files', use 'find' to locate files and make changes. find / -user 500 -exec chown 1000: \; find / -user 500 -wholename ’/var/spool/cron/jonrysh’ -prune \ -exec chown :1000 \; or find / -user 500 -wholename ’/var/spool/cron/jonrysh’ -prune \ -exec chgrp 1000 \; *notes* 1] due to system changing your uid:gid 'user' is now by number. 2] the "\" truncates line to prevent 'line wrap'. 3] have never tried changing uid and gid separately, so i may be in error as to exact syntax. (if i am, i feel sure correct syntax will be posted) therefore, read; man find man chown man chgrp info find info chown info chgrp hth. -- peace out. tc.hago, g . *please reply "plain text" only.
