Too bad!! :-((
Was that spec decision really wise? :-/


BTW:
I've just noticed two discussions dated a few months ago in this ML 
regarding this.
the thread named 'numeric UIDs'
and more interestingly the thread: "Teach clients to map numeric strings 
into valid uids and gids."
http://marc.info/?t=128207393000001&r=1&w=2

Would the patch by Steve Dickson allow us to have numeric UID mapping 
like in NFSv3?
(Including ability for a non-squashed-root to do chown towards an UID 
which is unknown at server side)

And if yes, how come this is not against the specs?

Thank you
