Oh yes, sorry, I didn't look at what files he wanted to copy. for these
specific files, fcopy is probably not the best idea. Fcopy should only
be used for files in /etc that are meant to be hand-edited.

Instead of editing the files he can also just run adduser/addgroup and
give the numeric user/group ID as arguments because that should probably
always be the same on each system and after each install.
