Change Details

From the past before the use of the admin module and matching UIDs with Labs UIDs, we still have human shell users with UIDs in the range under 999, which is reserved for system users. "UID 0 (zero) is reserved for root and UIDs 1-99 are reserved for other predefined accounts. Further UID 100-999 are reserved by system for administrative and system accounts/groups." We should move these users to a new UID. Options seem to be: - edit their UID admin module with a puppet change - run a `find / .. -exec chmod .. `to re-own all their files to the new UID, probably has to run on / on all servers to make sure (!?), or just /home ? or - create new users, give people access to both - let them rsync old /home to new /home, copy what they want or do it for them - once new user is confirmed ready, delete old user for real with bash commands via salt or ... ?
