Random snippit of phone conversation at the computer
“So what's the status on merging the UID (User ID)s [1]?”
“I've installed the merged /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group files in
place, and I've run the script to change ownership of the sites accordingly.”
“So you've merged them, and taken care of any UID conflicts?”
“UID conflicts?” Oh XXXX! I thought. I forgot to do a renumbering! Quickly
checking for duplicate UIDs among the existing accounts showed a few
conflicts. XXXX! “Oh, I took care of it.”
“Great! Glad you hear your on top of things.”
XXXX! Clickity-click. XXXX! Clickity-click. XXXX! Clickity-click.
