User account name modification.

[Jonathan Rowbury]

Can anyone help me prevent the following error message from occurring;

"Password cannot be changed. Reason: Cannot access protected password entry."

I know why the message is being generated, what I need to know is how am I supposed to change a users login account name without losing their protected password entry from the directory /tcb/files/auth/'initial'/'user_name'.

If you use sam to rename your user, there is no problem.
Now if youre doing it by hand you will have to copy /tcb/files/auth/'initial'/'user_name'to ~initial/newuser and edit the file and correct the entries:
u_name=
u_pswduser=
...

Thanks for the reply Victor, I am doing it through SAM and this is why I'm a little frustrated at this error message being generated at all. I've had a look at the file ~/'initial'/'user_name' before it dissapears and thought about manually editing it after renaming it, my feeling is though that perhaps I've found a bug and that someone may no of a patch that cures this problem...
