This is how I got through this problem between Slack and Knoppix:

o All users are placed in a common group  called "users" having 
  a common gid for both distros.
  
o All new users  were/ are created  manually using useradd from 
  the command line using the same uid for both distros with the 
  common "users" gid.
  
o All existing uids and gids were manually tinkered to fit the
  above scheme of things using usermod and grpmod.

Sub : Executables-only ls                            LOST #393

To have an ls of only executable files within a directory, add
this line to your /etc/profile or .bash_profile/:
alias lsx='ls -F | grep \* | less'
Type "lsx" at the shell prompt ... and viola ...
