Hello. We have a slight problem here. We have a small network ( 3 machines )
and while someone was editing the master ( only ) registry, another person
EX'd the node on which the registry resides. Now rgyd will not start on
the node ( interactively if gives the message "Cannot initialize registry
database " ). The question is, how do we get the registry back.
We have no slaves, and no backup of the registry. I fear it's rgy_create time.
If I do need to re-create the registry, is there a way to set the
uid's back to what they were. ( We only have 3 user accounts + the default
ones ). If I could find out the existing uid's could I use
adopt in edrgy to do this?
Thanks.
Ciao,
Casper
