Your user accounts should have the same UID/GID if you are planning on
using a common /home partition.
However, you shoudn't modify the system UIDs/GIDs. Bear in mind that
the filesystem stores numeric UID/GID, not user/group names. If you
change the UIDs/GIDs in the passwd and group files, files and
directories will have the wrong owner. Some configuration files may
also use numeric UIDs/GIDs.
