    Default ownerships changed for a user to the ownerships of a domain that had username changed

    Ownerships changed for a domain to the ownerships of a different domain that had its username changed.

    domain1.com
    owner: domain1
    group: domain1

    domain2.com
    owner: domain2
    group: domain2

    Username for domain1.com was changed to abc so that the ownerships are abc.abc

    For somereason cpanel went insane and changed the ownershipd on all files for domain2.com to abc.domain2

    Now cpanel, webmail, preinstall scripts, and a bunch of other stuff does not work.


    chown domain2.domain2 on the files does not do anything. The ownerships remain abc.domain2


    Reponse from cpanel was:
    "I remove this user 100%: man pw, man userdel, etc "


    I do not know what that means. Can anyone help.

    Default

    This is what is in /etc/passwod for domain2.com:
    domain2:x:32529:32530::/home/domain2:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell

    This is what is in /etc/passwod for domain1.com:
    domain1:x:32529:32530::/home/domain1:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell
    abc:x:32633:32635::/home/abc:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell

    Notice the old one (domain1) is still in there.

    User for domain1.com (domain1) was not deleted from /etc/passwd when the username was changed to abc for that domain.

    Removing the one cpanel didn't remove when the domain name was changed fixed it.
    domain1:x:32529:32530::/home/domain1:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell
