And they'll need to have an interactive process to allow the admin to choose the uid, since they can't pick one by default - if it's in the 0-99 range, Sun could assign it to a system account in the future, and if it's in the 100+ range, the site could already have an account with that uid. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
