Yes, the idea is to restore the original values of maradns_uid and maradns_gid. But do no more, otherwise you may alter modifications done by user. This needs to be done *with* Russ's suggestions regarding patching maradns. > But then I violate 10.7.3 again. > Is that right? I believe it's ok if you restore only maradns_uid and maradns_gid and leave all other modifications alone. More seasoned DDs will correct me if I'm wrong.
