Thanks for confirming. Well, my concern wasn't the hassle to actually do
that, but more the confusion created by the comment on top of UIDs, and
also the fact that this seems to be a "waste" of precious "uid space"
below 1000 if you don't need any file permissions...

But seems there's indeed no immediate solution here :(

Cheers, Felix
