Just realized that the separation between usernames and UICs is actually
another misfeature of VMS.
On *nix systems, a username is always understood to map to a particular
UID. Which one is not important, just so long as it isn’t zero. This
allows various subsystems to run under their own usernames with privilege
isolation, without having to worry about UID clashes. For example, the
OpenLDAP server runs under the “openldap” user, and it doesn’t matter that
that might map to a particular UID on one system, and a different one on
another system.
