See if you can do this. It may save you a lot of pain later.
If you're already up and running the numeric user ids, you can
smoothly transition to the new form of ids--define duplicates for the
actual user ids.

cat /etc/passwd > fred
cat /etc/passwd | sed 's/^/s/' >> fred

mv fred /etc/passwd
Do similiarly for /etc/shadow. Make sure your password changes work.
Also change /etc/group.
