When you say, "change UID and GID accordingly"...what do you mean by that? I have changed the assign uid:gid to 1009:1004, but that does not seem to work. I believe that something else other than the assign file is is causing my original 89:89 files on the 1009:1004 machine to talk back. I am not aware of what, but something tells me that I will figure it out before it all is over. I really would rather figure out how this works as oppsed to adding all the accounts by hand. Not only is this ugly, I am not aware of how my system is working while I have a perfect chance to learn. -Bob -Bob
