You are now userid 500 in /etc/passwd, but the files are still owned by userid 1000. Changing your userid in /etc/passwd does not change the ownership of files. Try this: find / -user 1000 -print0 | xargs -0 chown 500 You will have to do it as root. -- Dave Carrigan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | Yow! Sign my PETITION.
