Good afternoon Gurus!

After perusing the archives yesterday, I am still at a loss for what to do.
Hence, my question to you: How do you handle users whose name changes after
a marriage? Options I have considered are:

        * Creating a whole new account and moving everything from the old
account over;

        * Putting in place a second name on the UID.

These seem kind of kludg-y to me. Is there a more elegant solution? BTW, we
are on DU 3.2d-2 running Enhanced Security.

Also, I read several mentions of a patch to cure hanging defunct processes,
but never a mention of the name or where I may find it. Any ideas?

Thanks so much!

        Sheryl

P.S. Has anyone considered putting in a search engine into the archives so
you don't have to throw a guess out as to when a question may have come?
Just seemed to waste a lot of time making a lot of bad guesses yesterday.
