I would think you would still run into trouble because the names may
be the same but the SID(security identifiers) are different. At least
with M$, if you delete a user account and then recreate it with the
same name, the computer will still assign a different SID so the
account is different even though its recreated with the same name. I
would think that would apply to Linux\Unix as well.
