Hi, user IDs are the same, group IDs are not. Can the ID numbers be
changed? I've not yet located anything on how to do so - therefore the
answer may be "no" or "why would you want to".
I guess this is not really a big deal and is no more than a distraction
from work I should be doing, and given this is the only issue I
currently have, will just patiently wait until there is an opportunity
at some later date to try another distro or release. At which time I
don't think I'll experiment with using the same /home folder, I'll set
up from scratch and copy over what I want instead.
Thanks for the replies!

I should add at this point that this installation of kubuntu made use of

Are the numerical user IDs and group IDs the same under kubuntu as
they were under SuSE?
Just having the same name is not enough.
