Rather than editing /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow files, I'd suggest: groupmod -g ggg spavri usermod -u uuu spavri where ggg and uuu are the GID and UID from the other machine. After that, you need to run: find / -group oldgid | xargs chgrp newgid find / -user olduid | xargs chown newuid Needless to say, all the above must be done as root.
