+#linux #user-management 
+
+Change uid/gid of user
+`usermod -u newnumber user`
+`groupmod -g newnumber user`
+
+File permissions in homedir will be automatically updated; file perms outside home dir will not be automatically updated.
+
+Finding files of a specific user, and printing their uid/gid;
+`sudo find / -user 4109 -printf '%p %u(%U) %g(%G)\n'`
+
+To change only the group: `chgrp`.
+
+Or using find to chmod/chgrp:
+`sudo find / -user 4109 -group 4109 -exec chmod 998:998 {} \;`
+`sudo find / -group 4109 -exec chgrp 998 {} \;`
+
+Dirty way to find "system users" (uid < 999) - note that this is not fool-proof, it also lists groups
+`getent passwd | grep -oP '\b[0-9]{3}\b' | uniq | sort`
