I've done this a few times. Basically my routine was:
---------------------------------------------------------------
for d in /home /var /tmp; # See note below
do
find $d -uid ${OLD_UID} -exec chown -ch ${NEW_UID} {} \;
find $d -gid ${OLD_GID} -exec chgrp -ch ${NEW_GID} {} \;
done;
---------------------------------------------------------------
[note: Depending on your setup, you might need /usr, /opt, /run or
other paths as well. Avoid network based filesystems and do
that job on those servers directly]
There are also more tricks to do if you convert a computer withtout a
centralized user database (for example LDAP/Kerberos) to become
integrated with a centralized user database. But that's a different story.
