And, of course, if you're changing existing users you will have to change the ownership of all files on the system, so you'll want to either do that as part of your change (time-consuming) or store a mapping of old UID with either new UID or login (perhaps shoehorn it into the GCOS field as you write the entry to your new file), and heaven forbid any collisions where you have an old user paul=5002 who will become paul=5168 but meanwhile user bob=43 will become bob=5002 and you now have a dependency in your chown order. % Good luck, and be carefull !!
