Isn't the point of adding local UIDs to get a kind of macro thing, i.e. what is standard is the name, which should be the same on all machines, but nobody cares what the actual UID is ? I agree it can get a bit hairy when several machines share things by NFS, but having a central global UID registry also seems hairy. The only real special UID is numbered 0. But probably I'm overlooking something obvious :) Anybody cares to explain ?
