Chuck.
Now I see what that field is used for. Never knew that....
Next problem, if I go switching all the realms, then users are going to loose
their info the next time they log in. Is there a way I can go through the sql
db's by hand and append the realm information onto the uid field? Will this
work? Or is a whole bunch of random data generated to tie everything together
that is basically going to hose all user's settings and address books?
This is on a production system, so I have to be careful with what I do...
Thanks,
-John
