This hack doesn't take care of the Private messages (I have inst.. the CYPM hack for 5.47e).
Should I just add some code to rename the files in the private directory??
If I change usernames, then the private messages files for the previous/old username is lost.

easy fix, all you would have to do is add a system command in perl to rename the old name for private messages into the new name. ie. set $Path to the path of your private messages directory [code][/code] If you need some more help let me know. Cheers

What doesn't it do precisely? Have I been missing something? I use Carnell Utilities for all username changes.

Vipermad do you have that hack on your Comp? I deleted mine and I want it back. It's hard to find.

I think he means that if you chage a username using the hack it doesnt rename the users private message box, so they loose their old private messages.

Yup BassTeq is right on, I meant that the private mesg files are not renamed.
Bassteq I tried the system calls but they don't work. I guess I will test them out in a separate script first.
For now, since I do not want users to change names themselves, I will do such changes myself in the process, move the private mesg files (rename them) myself.

svr, those system calls were just examples, the path/varibales/filenames I just made up, it was just meant as a guide for you when writing your own system calls.
