I had one category of users with id's in the 1000 range and another category in the 1200 range with different quotas. I entered 80 or so new users with adduser and realized I'd put them in the wrong range- they were meant to be 1200's, but they were 1000's. So I used vipw and changed all the user id's and group id's for the new users to the correct range. Then I edited /etc/group and changed the group numbers adduser had created to match what I'd done in vipw. I thought I had handled it until I looked at repquota and saw that all the bogus 1000 range user id's and group id's are still listed there- as numbers, not as names. Also, there is no mention of the actual new names in the quota list- only the users that existed before I entered the new ones are still listed by name. How can I reverse what I did and get the new ones back to being names instead of numbers, and preferably in the correct range?
