Er, no, we have 900 of them. Maybe 1433 of them if we steal 65000-65533. Anywhere else will run into the UID space reserved for the local administrator, which would cause serious problems. Given that, I do think something like this would be a good idea if all the tricky implementation details can be worked out. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
