It seems like that would be the other way around the mess instead of changing the systema(vopomail:vchkpw ID's) You say to ensure that the uid:gid be the same, but what besides the assign file is dependant on the uid:gid? ....in terms of the files that I have copird over to the new machine. Sorry to beat a dead horse, but I dont quite understand this and if I have to deal with this matter unill it is fixed then I may as well try to understand what is going on. -Bob
