Hello all,
Can someone explain how this happened?
d-rwxrwxr-x M 8 glenda glenda 0 Feb 13 13:38 glenda
d-rwxrwxr-x M 8 '(rounin)' '(rounin)' 0 Feb 14 18:28 rounin
I am not sure of the steps that were taken to get the above ' and ( ).
Is it possible to rename/modify the '( )'?
Many thanks,
ROuNIN

it means there isn't an entry for "rounin" in /adm/users,
so it shows the name unchanged as stored by fossil.
(it's stored without the () -- those are just to distinguish the internal
name from a normal name that does appear in /adm/users.)

You deleted user rounin, perhaps using the fossil uname command.
You can recreate it by saying
uname rounin :rounin
on the fossil console. The : keeps it from trying to create /usr/rounin again.
