This works. You may also need to change the ownership
of /var/mail/username and move any quota files over as wanted.
I had briefly considered changing the GIDs and UIDs of the files,
but felt certain that even with find,
I would screw up a massive change like that.
Changing login.defs would be a change in only one place
IF I COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT.
Redhat says to use a kickstart file,
but says nothing at all about how to use said file to affect login.defs .
Quite irritating.
