Message-ID: <200007201443.KAA00115@smtp1.fas.harvard.edu> (raw)
Just how dangerous is it to renumber the entries in /adm/users?
I need to know what kind of crises I may trigger, broadly.
The numbers in /adm/users are used in the
on-disk structures in both kfs and the real
file server. Unless you're going to rewrite
the file system, you probably need to leave it as is.
