Filepro-list Digest, Vol 183, Issue 2

[Peter Martin]

Good morning Richard,

My issue is not bringing over /etc/passed. I did not. I created new user
names using the #s Ubuntu issued.

My issue is that @cb & @ud display as a userid # & not as username spelled
out.

In both SCO & RH always showed username spelled out & un Ubuntu, It only
shows userid #. I would like to show the username spelled out.

So the magic question:

Where/when does filepro get & store @cb & @ub. Should probably be as simple
as changing the environment variable where filepro is pulling the data from
linux.

Thanks,

Peter
