Okay, so I created a fictional user with uid 200:
me::200:0::0:0:me:/:/bin/csh
and logged in as "me", but when I tried to chown the file
chown 0 netbsd [or: chown root netbsd]
I get the message
chown: netbsd: Operation not permitted
I'm the only person using this machine and I'm not connected to a network,
so security is not a serious concern for now. For the time being I've
kept the "me" account and put a "*" into the master.passwd file to prevent
any theoretical misuse of access. But I'd really prefer to change the
ownership to the appropiate setting.
Thanks,
