Er, I don't think that IPS alleviates the pressure. The pressure is the fact that we've traditionally only reserved uids < (<=?) 100, and IPS doesn't change that. If anything, it *increases* the pressure by making it so easy to create new users without having the bottleneck of integrating into ON. We can hope that administrators won't install all packages that install new users, but that's not a very good plan. Someone ought to tackle the problem, certainly, but (as others have already said) I don't think that's this case. Danek
