Maybe! I haven't tried this myself yet, but next time I need to do this I think I'm going to take an mtree backup of the entire filesystem, change the UIDs and GIDs (vipw, then vi /etc/groups), and then re-apply the mtree to the entire filesystem. It should find all the files that are now orphaned and fix them to use the new UID/GID that you specified. :) > What pitfall should I avoid? > Not having a backup :) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
