I have looked hard and long at all the replies and I think that I will leave it as it is now, without a separate home partition. And, having read what has been said about having a home on its own partition I think I will not bother to do that in future.On Sat, 7 Sep 2013, Tom wrote:To change UID and GID the hard way: find /home -mount -user UID -exec chown newuser {} \; find /home -mount -group GID -exec chgrp newgroup {} \;From the more than one way to do it department: you could use find ... -print0 | xargs -0 ... here... (Although the 0 options are probably superfluous as you typically don't have usernames with spaces in) Or, if directory names in /home correspond to the usernnames in /etc/passwd and group names in /etc/group, (fairly typical these days) then: cd /home foreach f (*) chown -R $f.$f $f end Or if you want it in bash, then: for f in *; do chown -R $f.$f $f ; done Gordon
