Another problem arises if you have several users on a system: unless you
create them in the same order when installing the OS, the UIDs and GID will be
a mess.
Up to now, the only solution is to do a chown for each home directory after
the install to restore UIDs and GIDs to the "new" value.
Cheers,
Ron.
