I need to move the 3 Openpkg ID's from 1000-1002 to 700-702 (names are

concerned new package builds will use the old UID's and not the new ones.
I don't think that's an issue as all references to these are by
name, not by uid/gid.
One consideration though is when changing the uid/gid of installed
packages, if you have any setuid or setgid programs, running on a resonably
secure version if *nix, the setuid or setgid bits will be cleared when the
ownership is changed. To preserve these, you need to stat() the original
file to get the mode, then do a chmod() after the chown().

Thanks, Bill. This worked for every package so far, except for sudo.
Looks like I'll have to rebuild it.
