I suggest that the LDAP user migration on deleuze be redone, using 10000 as a 
minimum uid for normal users.  We can then start admin and other utility 
accounts at 9999 and go down from there.  The problem is that *_admin should 
use local passwords and NOT Kerberos ones.  There is a pam_krb5 directive that 
sets a minimum uid for pam_krb5 to attempt authentication.  We should set this 
up so a KDC failure won't prevent admins from logging in due to Kerberos 
timeouts.

We'll have to chown all data to the new uids, but that shouldn't be a big deal.

Also, I'd suggest looking into using the following for the migration:

That same migrate.pl script is what I modified to migrate users in cells that I 
setup.  Its old, but it seems to work.  (I hope I didn't just volunteer to 
rewrite it for our setup, as I have very little experience with LDAP.)
