Safe change of uid

[Elmer E. Dow]

Just finished a fresh Lenny install and added an account for my daughter 
-- and kuser assigned it uid 500 instead of 1001, which I must correct. 
After looking at man pages and archives, I see that kuser in the past 
has done well creating accounts but not modifying them. Is that still 
true with the version used in Lenny? Is usermod a better option for 
dealing with this situation or would deleting and recreating the account 
-- either using kuser or userdel -- be the simplest and best method?
