| kailas | Hey guys I am a bit stuck on creating a new user, so when I attempt to adduser -uid X name. I get an error saying. The UID is not unique. I made sure I deleted the previous user with that id. I checked the shadow and the password it doesnt contain the previous user... Any help would be great | 04:57 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | i use.. sudo adduser | 04:57 |
| holstein | kailas: what are you trying to do? | 04:58 |
| kailas | ok i did try sudo adduser. The thing is I had a postgres user with the system uid 109. Now when I try to reinstall postgresql it gives me an error regarding the user id, which should be 109 | 04:59 |
| holstein | kailas: so, what are you trying to do? | 05:01 |
| holstein | fix postgres? or add a user with a duplicate id#? | 05:01 |
| kailas | I want to create a new user named postgres with the uid 109.. | 05:01 |
| kailas | ya so have a duplicate uid | 05:01 |
