John,

You can. In order for it to work though, you have to invoke a universe shell
for it to work.  For example, you could telnet or ssh into your account and
type sudo /path/to/bin/uv, enter your password... or however you set up sudo
and you're now logged in as root. That completely avoids having to create
more than one user with UID 0.

Could you use sudo to avoid full admin rights but allow the UV admin 
commands?
