After the initial 151a8 release, some subsequent update broke many gui functions. Bug reports have been made. As I understand, investigations are in progress. ------------oooo--O--oooo---------- Stephen Stanford Jones stationary: sjones3ATcitadelDOTedu, 3-5876 http://bellsouthpwp.net/s/s/ss_jones

I've monkeyed around with useradd, usermod and groupadd to get the needed numeric gid for my user making file creation happen with a specific group (number).. but not seeing a clear way to do the same with owner. Possibly my monkeying around is what has made the gui tool useless, but still there must be a way to make adjustments to try to bring that user/group tool back online. I'd hoped to arrange owner/group numbers for certain users to match those on a linux system. Is there some way to debug the application? Barring that, what is the best way to change the number assigned to a users 'owner' bits so that user X has a specific number? Is it simply to make the change in /etc/passwd? Then chown all that users files to match? And even when creating users from the command line, I don't see a way in `man useradd' to set a numeric owner bit. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
