We are using Zentyal v4.1.  Last week when we did an system update, the linux uid for several users were changed.  This broke logins and file access. After much internal debate about how best to deal with the problem.  I fixed the file access issue with "find . -uid oldXXX -exec chown -u newXXX {} /".  After this the users were now able to login but lost their connection to the /home/$USER directory.  Yes, the home directory now has the updated owner uid and permissions.  Also, some users had their directories duplicate but with the username capitalized, e.g. /home/mark became /home/Mark.  They can login but just get the generic $ prompt and no bash or profile settings.

What's weird is that this didn't happen to all of the users who have both types of logins.

How do I restore the pointers to the home directories?

Thank you,

Background:  I have installed Zentyal 4.1 on an existing server running Ubuntu 14.04.02.

Question:
What are the command line tools to use to manage LDAP?  I installed ldap-tools but they didn't work.

Thanks in Advance,

Background: Installed Zentyal 4.1 via the repositories onto an existing server running Ubuntu 14.04.02 LTS.  This server was a samba file server before installing Zentyal.

Query:  As this was the file server before Zentyal, there are a bunch of existing directories owned by the existing local users and assigned to the existing local groups.  The existing local users need access to any new files created by the LDAP users and the LDAP users need access to the existing files.

q1) How do I let the existing local users have access to the directories with LDAP user owner/groups?

q2) Should I move the existing files over to directories with LDAP user owner/groups?  I'm inclined to think this way to give all future users access that is inherently controlled by LDAP.  To this end, I have shared both the old directories and the base new directory through Samba.  Alas, neither "side" can see the other.

Thoughts?  Solutions?

Thanks in advance,
Mark
