The above would work fine. Make sure when you use chown you do so
recursively and you set the correct group e.g.

chown -R keithb:users /home/keithb

Also, if you only have a few user accounts this may be fine to do
manually. If not you may want to script this (topic for another thread
maybe).

As for fstab something:

/dev/hda2  	/home  	ext3  	defaults  	1 2

"man fstab" or Google for fstab for more info.
