I am hoping that is not the case. I can see two reasons for having the same UID for two login names: 1) the sysadmin really messed up, and as you say, a total stranger has complete ownership of your files. Ramkumar, you should check that this is not your case. 2) the sysadmin explicitely gave two login names to the same physical person, as kinds of aliases for the same UID (e.g. the person got married, changed her name and login, but expects ~oldlogin to continue working). I'm not sure how common this is, and to which extend we want to support this in our test scripts. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
