[04:57] <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
[04:58] <holstein> kailas: what are you trying to do?
[04:59] <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
[05:01] <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

[05:02] <holstein> !usermod
[05:02] <holstein> !info usermod
[05:02] <ubot93> Package usermod does not exist in raring
[05:03] <holstein> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/usermod.8.html
[05:04] <holstein> ^^ thats where i would start.. just make a user and try modifying til its what you need
[05:04] <kailas> Awesome, thanks, I ll give that a shot. I m using 12.04, so I should be good...
