Seriously, the University of Maryland wants to use SSNs as student IDs. If one objects, one may get a local number (which of course looks exactly like an SSN). I'll bet a few of these local numbers have gotten into the payroll. Unique IDs only work if they're unique. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 4251) UUCP: {seismo,allegra,brl-bmd}!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@maryland
