Thanks Jorg and Anton and anyone else who responded, In this particular case, I "lowered the river" instead of "raising the bridge": I ran a usermod and subsequent chown on the 4 accounts blocking my expansion of utku accounts.
Also, I wasn't keen on using the "-f" option to force delete kiosk accounts: the fact that it saw accounts as being active worried me. My way is more cumbersome [but in my situation, not very much so] but leaves the existing SRS install intact. Someone also suggested creating a dummy account with a UID much higher than the highest utku account to prevent a recurrence of the problem [new account using a UID one greater than the highest existing UID which in my case happened to be the last utku account].
