I use a SRM product to manage our storage and have noticed an abundant amount of Microsoft temp files which start with ~. I know these are created as a backup 'till the file is saved but we have way to many.... any ideas.
Thanks Steve
Our Unix-side password files go back to the days of SunOS 3.x (if not before), so we have some users with UIDs less than 100. Nowadays this causes problems with NFS on, eg, Linux boxes that seem to assume any UID under at least 1000 is fair game for placeholder accounts. After struggling with this for a while it looks like it's time for a wholesale UID reassignment for those users.
- what's a "safe" lower bound for UIDs? 1000? 10000? We'd rather not have to do this more than once!
- is there some slick way to reassign UIDs en masse on a filer? We could run 'chown -R ...' on the admin host, but is there a better way?
