Hi Stellaman,
Your suggested methodology for changing the user ID and file ownership is the correct way to make the change. Bringing the User ID's and the Group ID's into alignment will probably be required, depending on what the user population is on the estate you may have to repeat this exercise for a number of users. Now would probably be a good time to plan a system for the management/alignment of the User ID's and Group ID's over the whole estate.
This is a common issue in the world of larger estates, it is frequently down to organic growth - where no or poor forward planning is in place. Large enterprises tend to have management tools in place, where user ID's can be correctly managed - this tends to happen after the problem has been encountered.

pppd-radius
PPPD-RADIUS(8) System Manager's Manual PPPD-RADIUS(8)
NAME
radius.so - RADIUS authentication plugin for pppd(8)
SYNOPSIS
pppd [ options ] plugin radius.so
DESCRIPTION
The RADIUS plugin for pppd permits pppd to perform PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAPv2 authentication against a RADIUS server instead of the
usual /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets files.
The RADIUS plugin is built on a library called radiusclient which has its own configuration files (usually in /etc/radiusclient), consult
those files for more information on configuring the RADIUS plugin
OPTIONS
The RADIUS plugin introduces one additional pppd option:
radius-config-file filename
The file filename is taken as the radiusclient configuration file. If this option is not used, then the plugin uses
/etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf as the configuration file.
avpair attribute=value
Adds an Attribute-Value pair to be passed on to the RADIUS server on each request.
map-to-ifname
Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute to number equal to interface name (Default)
map-to-ttyname
Sets Radius NAS-Port attribute value via libradiusclient library
USAGE
To use the plugin, simply supply the plugin radius.so option to pppd, and edit /etc/radiusclient/radiusclient.conf appropriately. If you
use the RADIUS plugin, the normal pppd authentication schemes (login, checking the /etc/ppp/*-secrets files) are skipped. The RADIUS
server should assign an IP address to the peer using the RADIUS Framed-IP-Address attribute.
