issue with @cb @ub showing UID# not name

[Richard D. Williams]

Peter,

The user name is shown via the user id in the /etc/passwd file.
If you did not bring those users from the old RH system as the same 
numbers, FP can not determine which user name to show.

Ubuntu probably starts user id numbers at a higher number than RH.
If you still have access to the RH you might be able to bring just those 
users over from the /etc/passwd and the /etc/shadow.
I would be careful, as different versions of Linux use different user id 
ranges.

This is *not* a procedure to be done by a beginner. You could wreak your 
whole system.
