Dear Debian community: I have got a specific problem using usermod to change my previous username olduser to newuser.
This is what I use: sudo usermod -l newuser -md /home/newuser olduser[:w newuser is the new login name and -md use /home/newuser as the new home directory and moves /home/olduser to /home/newuser. The problem is after I did all this I found that in /home/newuser the file ownership becomes newuser:olduser. So the group ownership is still olduser. I know I can use chgrp to change group owner olduser to newuser. But I guess there are simpler ways to do that. So basically I don't want to use olduser as my username again and want to change 'everything' associated with olduser to become newuser. such the home directory, spoolfile, cron, etc... and I dont want the olduser appear again. Thanks for any suggestions. -- Zhengquan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
