I think the "Users and Groups" gui might let you do this. System->Administration->Users and Groups.
Select your username and then Properties. The advanced tab has a user id entry. I don't know if that will modify your home directory ownership or update the ownership of you files so test it first. Might be worth a look. And a bug if it doesn't work ;) John Shawn Walker wrote: > On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 9:36 AM, Bryan Boone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi guys, >> Just got back from CommunityOne and JavaOne and I'm chomping at the bit >> to install OpenSolaris for real on a desktop.... >> >> 1) I installed in vmware and when I created a user, I didn't get an >> opportunity to choose a uid.
