Multiple users with the same UID
Hi,
I've been using Suse for a couple of years now and everythign works fine.
Regardless of the time I'm using Linux (Suse mostly) I allmost allways used KDE and all the nice GUI interfaces and "wizards", not too much of the comand line interface.
When I try to use the User Management module in Yast I get the message that there is multiple users with the same UID an that i shuold correct that manualy in /etc/passwd.
When I look at the /etc/passwd there is a bunch of users: root, me, and other "system users".
I looked up on Google what's the form of a /etc/passwd entry
"Name:Password: UserID:PrincipleGroup:Gecos: HomeDirectory:Shell"
It seems that I have
- vdr-Video Disk Recorder
- messagebus-User for D-BUS
with the same UID that is 100.
Should I change one of them to a unique UID just like that, or is there something that I should pay attention to?
Thanks in advance!
Korto
