This is fascinating.  The original request said nothing whatever about
using numeric logins, just user and group IDs matching the company's
existing numeric identifiers.  All the respondents, however, talked
about the virtues/failings of using numeric logins.  Don't people
read what they're responding to?

Just to join the stream, though, I don't see anything horrible in
numeric identifiers; I still think fondly of myself as [1516,317]
from my eight years as a DEC-10 user.
