I believe the ACL's are stored as text (ie. "joe.somegroup.someorg")
rather than as UID/GID pairs, so that you will not have to re-acl the
files ... however,  you *will* have to change the ownership of all
of his files, since the file's ownership (is* stored as a UID/GID
pair. If all of joe's files are stored in one location, this is
fairly easy (if time consuming). Just use the "chown -R" command
on joe's directory. If the files are scattered about the disk, it
gets much harder. ZI suspose you could use the "find" command to search
the entire disk for files with a UID of 150 and pipe their names into
"chown" to change them to joe's new UID (do this *prior* to merging
the registries or you may find some of Ann's files by mistake!).
