VMS allows multiple usernames with same UIC, but it practically
never happens.
The point being that privilege separation is done based on UIC, not
username. For example, on *nix, a daemon might start out as root and then
call setuid(2) and friends to isolate the current process as a
nonprivileged user. The UID to use can be easily obtained by looking up a
symbolic username in the /etc/passwd file. How would you do this on VMS?
