After finally reading that whole thing I realized you only had a simple 
question at the end. I used to do that on all the dumps anyways. I also 
use it all the time when I'm doing celenza. If you do:

sed -ie "s/peter/newuser/" *

It should replace all the instances of peter with newuser in every file. 
Will probably need to do ".*" at the end for the hidden files though.
