From the keyboard of acker@se01.wg2.waii.com:
:We are trying to consolidate about 8 different password files into one
:master password file. I would like to know if someone has a script that
:will go out and change the UID/GID from the old to the new all over the
:network.
I have one, called mvids, written in perl. It doesn't handle closures,
as in:
mv uid 4 to 3
mv uid 3 to 2
mv uid 2 to 4
but if you have a simpler mapping, it will work fine. I've seen
versions that go down to the inodes and munge, and thus run much
faster, but I don't have a copy of these. You can get mvids from
convex.com:/pub/perl/scripts/mvids via anon FTP if you want.
