Rsync can copy files either by uid or by username (see the --numeric-ids option). Personally, I'd recommend you bite the bullet and unify all your account details. If you've accounts in the range 1000-1999 (say), start your new set of accounts from 2000. find / -user 1234 -exec chown 2000 {} + find / -group 987 -exec chgrp 2010 {} + Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
