Why on earth would you assign a numeric value to a uid? Just do a ldapmodify
and replace the uid with a valid userid (eg. jsmith) and replace uidNumber with
the previous value, then get rid of the:
ldap_user_uid_number = uid
ldap_user_gid_number = uid
stuff, you can do this in one ldif with
dn:
Example user:
uid: 123456
mail: mike.l...@uts.edu.au
uidNumber: 200123456

dont want the actual UNIX username to be an email address with an @ in it.
Complicates all sorts of scripts. A username of u123456 is simple.

I'm not very familiar with LDAP. I'm not sure what that would actually
look like.
What we have now is where users login to a terminal using their number.
