I don't know how but all the directories and files in my /home
        directory changed group and ownership.  They were listed as -
        1000 1000
        I don't have a backup and don't remember each group and owner.
        I wasn't allowed to change the group.  I got the following error
        when I tried -
        invalid group name 'kent'

        This is what I did to "fix" this -
        addgroup kent 
        which added - kent:x:102: to /etc/group

        ran - chown -R kent.kent kent 
        in my home directory.

        My questions: what could cause my /home directory to change like
        this and is my "fix" appropriate?          
        Thanks,
        kent
