If I have my /home on its own permission, when I resinstall
debian/dapper, is it sufficient to just create users with the same login
ID for the permissions on the "safe home partition" to match the newls
created user?
e.g I have /home/reg
nice & safe and most of the permissions of the files in /home/reg are of
the form "reg 755".
On the new install, when I create "reg" is he the "same" reg as before?

If you create users in the same order, they should be the same. Each
user and group is identified by a number. You could save copies of
/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and /etc/gshadow, then you wouldn't
have to create the users again.

I assume that the uid and guid are what "drives" the security system.
If I put an entry in the passwd etc files, is this equivalent to
actually creating a new uid/gid?
