Hummm...Unless I am way off ( could be :), then only four things would
need to be changed: /etc/passwd, /etc/group ( to reflect the new idea of
uid=gid ), the adduser script/program ( your pick, I use both :), and
then the fixperms files.
I have not played with fixperms that much, but, couldn't we just change
the files, and let it run? Or just generate a script which recursive
chown on the directories in question ( the source trees and the home
dirs. ).
I currently have something similar set up on my Linux box. /usr/local,
/usr/local/games, and /usr/local/games/empire all have their own
accounts. But, I have nothing as of yet in the root file system.
Just my few cents worth,
Don
