How is it reinstated? | Account manager complains about user ids below 200! | You can run pwunconv, edit /etc/passwd and add the ftp user (with uid 72 and gid 28), then run pwconv, then 'authck -av' (twice). Or edit both /etc/default/accounts and /etc/defaults/authsh to change 200 to 20 temporarily, then revert the edits after adding the account. (I've never experimented to see which of those two default files governs, and I've asked SCO people many times why those two files have such overlap, never have had a reply.) -- JP |
