messing with uid/gid in passwd

[Petre Bandac]

hallo

I have the following problem

I hourly rsync data from another computer to my bsd machine and the
transferred files have different uid that the user I'd like to use them
(preserve their initial uid/gid)

is there a problem if I manually change the uid of some (already
created) users in passwd (like for mysql, www, postfix)

thanks,

petre
