Indeed, the first user created on a machine will have UID 501. The next will have 502, etc. You can change the UID of a user in NetInfo Manager, but that will naturally change permissions on files, too.

And, no, "Fix Permissions" will not correct this. "Fix Permissions" only corrects those permissions of items installed by the system installer (I am pretty sure), not anything installed or created by anything else.

I just use CCC at this point--awesome tool.
