What I mean is all of the files in my $HOME directory show uid=400, gid=401 but that's not what's in the passwd and group files now. How do I fix this? I *think* gid 401 used to be my Administators group (not 100% certain). Now the Administrtors group uses a different gid though, and there are many files already using that new gid. How do I fix this mess? Also, just because I log in to a domain, do I have to use the -d switch? This PC is a laptop and it's not always logged in to the domain. If I do run mkpasswd with -d, it wants to set my home directory to some network share.
