 If you prefer "paul" to be used, you need to do

 1. Remove the "MEAD8998" user from your '/etc/passwd'.  It's presumably
    before the "paul" user in the file and has the same SID.

2. "chmod -R paul / /usr/bin /usr/lib"

Correction: that should be "chown", not "chmod".

Indeed. I meant to correct that before I sent it out. Thanks.
