Re: How can some user ID be modified?

[Robert Napier <rnapier cisco com>]

Modify /etc/passwd to change the uid (you may be able to do this with
linuxconf, I've never tried changing ids that way).

Then you need to fix up all the files that romildo owns. If they're
all in ~romildo, it's easy:

   chgrp -R romildo ~romildo

Otherwise, you could do a find:

   find / -uid 500 -print | xargs chgrp romildo

(I haven't tested the above find, but it should work)
