RE: A simple fix for incorrect Home folder ownerhsip problems
you still need this this hint when you copy your HOME-folder with CCC or psync if you change your username on the new machine.
nope. psync will work just fine
Psync will work just fine to restore users since it does not depend upon UIDs just the user name and group name. of course you have to be sure that your username and group name exist.
RE: A simple fix for incorrect Home folder ownerhsip problems
Indeed, the first user created on a machine will have UID 501. The next will have 502, etc. You can change the UID of a user in NetInfo Manager, but that will naturally change permissions on files, too. And, no, "Fix Permissions" will not correct this. "Fix Permissions" only corrects those permissions of items installed by the system installer (I am pretty sure), not anything installed or created by anything else. I just use CCC at this point--awesome tool. |
