That is what is sounds like, with out some AFS zone mods.


I depends, from what I know about zones, they are like virtual host-systems. When one has a user-management which is unified over all zones, that doesn't seem to be a problem at all. So if two distinct persons have different uids in all zones, a mixup of priviledges should not occur.


But if I understand zones if a user in one zone has root in that zone he
could use any UID and in effect use the APG or tokens from users in other
zones.

One of the reasons for zones is to give a user root in a zone, when
you would not give the same user root on a normal machine.
