I'm sure the problem originated with me using the wrong disk ID
when creating the "archive" filesystem.  I made that mistake again
this morning while rebuilding the fileserver.  I appreciate that
catching such a silly error would be unprofitably hard, so I'm not
complaining.

Quite the contrary, in fact, as my error caused a different problem
to be identified.

Right now, however, I have a new problem I seem unable to resolve.
In attempting to "replica/pull" a CD image (not the most recent
one, sadly) from a stand-alone server, I seem unable to assign the
right ownerships to files (sys:sys, for the most part, but
glenda:glenda also suffers).  This to a freshly reamed FS.

I assume it has something to do with the /adm/users file(s) and
the two servers' (kfs on one end and fs on the other) view of these
files.

But I haven't found a formula that works and the process is too
slow to encourage experimentation.

What would be the right approach?  Should I rather twist the floppy
image to this task (I think I had some trouble when I first tried
it, so I returned to the KFS host) and will I not encounter
inconsistencies there anyway?

Help will be greatly appreciated.  I presume I'm not simply barking
up the wrong tree altogether.
