[Solved] Cannot "chmod" after account migration on openBSD.

I copy home directory, file /etc/passwd, file /etc/group, file /etc/master.passwd
to the new server.

This is result of "ls/home" on the old server.
Code:
drwxr-xr-x   3 user1          user1                512 Aug  3  2012 user1
drwxr-xr-x  19 user2          user2               2560 Jan  9 09:24 user2

But This is result of "ls/home" on the new server.
Code:
drwxr-xr-x   3 root          wheel                512 Aug  3  2012 user1
drwxr-xr-x  19 root          wheel               2560 Jan  9 09:24 user2

I would like to change root:wheel to user1:user1

This is result of
Code:
chmod user1:user1 user1
chown: user is invalid: user1

Although user1 has been stored in /etc/passwd

Any idea?
Thank you in advance.
