Changing my UID and GID

[Michael Hipp]

I may need to change my UID and GID so I can share /home between two 
different distros. Will this procedure do the trick?

1. Edit /etc/passwd and change the UID there
2. Edit /etc/group and change the GID there
3. Do 'chown -R newuid:newgid /home/goober'

Is there anything more to do? Any problems this will present?

Thanks,
Michael
