Due to NFS security concerns I am thinking of changing everyone's UID on
every system to match their employee number. This sure beats opening up
our /Banking subdirectory to QNFSANON so every Tom, Dick and Harry can
MOUNT over that EXPORTFS.

Anyone see a concern with this?

From my reading I see that the user cannot be active in any process.
And if we have any temporary employee numbers we often use an alpha
character which we'll have to use a number instead.

Also, not that this affects my current project but is there some way to
set a Windows user UID? Linux?
