The problem of new rrds being created with the 'old' gid appeared to be due the wrong gid in /etc/passwds - perhaps I should have changed the gid before I changed the uid - the updated gid was reflected in /etc/group but not /etc/passwd

Thanks for that pointer.

However, this still leaves the issue with the new rrds etc. needing to be accessible to htmld/apache i.e. any new rrds will still need to have their permissions changed...  perhaps adding apache to the smokeping group will do it?
