Then find the user with the problem and change their UID to the
missing one.  However, anyting they created up to now will start
showing the current UID.  In that case you can make a user with the
old UID, and you could make it with no password, and give it
a name.   If it were your login [as an example] you could make an
ID called 'oldtim'

Setting up new machines and migrating data means you have to
sychronize the password file to have the same UID/GID, and
different OSes start with lower default UID's than others.
