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.

rlm_expr
rlm_expr(5) FreeRADIUS Module rlm_expr(5)
NAME
rlm_expr - FreeRADIUS Module
DESCRIPTION
The rlm_expr module allows the server to perform limited mathematical calculations. This module is not called directly in any section, it
is invoked through the dynamic expansion of strings.
For example, some NAS boxes send a NAS-Port attribute which is a 32-bit number composed of port, card, and interface, all in different
bytes. To see these attributes split into pieces, you can have an entry in the 'users' file like:
DEFAULT
Vendor-Interface = `%{expr: %{NAS-Port} / (256 * 256)}`,
Vendor-Card = `%{expr: (%{NAS-Port} / 256) %% 256}`,
Vendor-Port = `%{expr: %{NAS-Port} %% 256}`
where the attributes Vendor-Interface, Vendor-Card, and Vendor-Port are attributes created by either you or a vendor-supplied dictionary.
The methematical operators supported by the expression module are:
+ addition
- subtraction
/ division
%% modulo remainder
* multiplication
& boolean AND
| boolean OR
() grouping of sub-expressions
NOTE: The modulo remainder operator is '%%', and not '%'. This is due to the '%' character being used as a special character for dynamic
translation.
NOTE: These operators do NOT have precedence. The parsing of the input string, and the calculation of the answer, is done strictly left to
right. If you wish to order the expressions, you MUST group them into sub-expression, as shown in the previous example.
All of the calculations are performed as unsigned 32-bit integers.
