It sounds like accounts for the same user in different machines have different
user number though same id (e.g. user number = 2003 and user id = johnk).

When you telnet, normally user id is used. However when rsh or rlogin,
user number is used.

Side question: How come I can never reply by mail to addresses like
johnk@locus.com or somebody@somehost.awdpa.ibm.com ? They all bounced back
with host unknown error.
