Steve's right. UIDs may need to match with corresponding user names
across systems, or you can have permissions problems. If the numbers
don't match from one system to another, there's no guarantee that the
files belonging to "Matt" (UID 500) on one system will belong to "Matt"
(UID 1000) on another system. You can chgrp with a chown command, too;
just run something like this: "chown [options] user.group /path".

Not necessarily. Didn't they change from 500 as first UID to 1000 as
first UID with the latest Fedora? Or was that some other distro?
Anyway, just do "chown -R matt /home/matt" and that should take care of
it. If you can figure out what your default group is, do a chgrp as well.
