RE: [SAGE] Looking for reuse: Script to change users UID, change group GID & re-permission files on large scale

["Carlson, Scott" <Scott.Carlson@schwab.com>]

I was very excited about this script when I started looking at it.
Unfortunately, it requires a couple of special CPAN modules and a certain
version of perl.

We have been unfortunate enough not to have standardized my version of
perl+modules across these 2000+ servers, so I'm out of luck with this.  I
think I'll have to continue looking for a generic sh/ksh thing that will run
on all of my os's

Thanks for all of the responses so far with advice on things I need to watch
out for.

Scott

I've not used it myself, but it does look like it has a lot of promise.
