Make sure you run /etc/crpasswd when you update anything via edacct. /etc/flush_cache wouldn't hurt, either. Steps here were (1) /etc/crpasswd, (2) /etc/flush_cache, (3) EX, and restart the DM. We had an extra problem, because of the size of our passwd file (now over 4000 entries) that Apollo tracked down and fixed. I was going nuts trying to get usenet and/or uucp to own the files they were supposed to. There was nothing special about uucp -- my files were displayed by ls as being owned by some arbitrary joe_user. I finally got things straightened out, and as an extra benefit, begin to understand exactly what it was Kirkegaard was talking about. --paul
