Dear Managers

We have just performed an upgrade from V3.2D-1 to V4.0D following the
various steps. Unfortunately we have been caught out by the problem of
user wnn being set to uid 12, before the upgrade user oracle was at uid
12. We eventually worked around the problem by deleting the oracle user,
recreating it and then changing ownership of files from wnn back to
oracle.
I have seen various references to this problem on this mailing list, but
does anyone have a suggestion for some pre emptive steps to take before
upgrading that would prevent the problem from happening.

Many thanks in advance

Kevin Jones
