(In reply to comment #5) > x86 done > FYI on x86 users have to run "groupmod -n locate slocate" to rename the group or emerge dies without installing the update. Recommend the ebuild be modified if practical to take care of the group name.
the ebuild already tells you exactly what needs to be done you're basically telling us what the ebuild already told you
If you use LDAP "groupmod -n locate slocate" is not enough ! you have to delete the slocate entry and create the locate entry on LDAP: example with the default ldap account : 1. create the locate group : ldapmodify -D "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com" -W -a -f ldap1 with ldap1 : dn: cn=locate,ou=Group,dc=my-domain,dc=com objectClass: posixGroup objectClass: top cn: locate gidNumber: 245 2. Delete the slocate group : ldapdelete -D "cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com" -W "cn=slocate,ou=Group,dc=my-domain,dc=com" I'm not a ldap expert, so perhaps you could find a better way to do it. But a warning about that could help somebody... Serge
Stable on mips.
Why would we like to change the unix user name? What if the system already has another user with the new user name? This can cause trouble ..
all set now
