Has anyone come up with schemes for maintaining a single site-wide uid
space? I am in the process of developing one for our site. The problem is a
little tricky if you're talking about a site that is large enough not to
distribute a single password file. The advantages of a single space are
obvious when you do a lot of NFS cross mounting. I was thinking of a central
uid database that would take a unique identification number from the person
and hash it into a uid. Any thoughts?
