204.0. "From where does ManageWORKS get the UID?" by VMSNET::J_MAJEWSKI () Mon Feb 03 1997 16:46

I have a customer who uses PATHWORKS's ManageWORKS v1.1.004
to manage his PW/OSF server. He uses it to create/delete 
accounts.  He is running PW/OSF v5.0C and Digital UNIX v3.2.

Question: 
From where does ManageWORKS get the UID when he creates
a new account?

We thought it might take the largest available number, but
the customer states that it does not.

Any thoughts?  Thank you.

	ManageWORKS asks the PATHWORKS server to create the account. Since Unix UIDs are not known to LAN Manager, we don't really know what they are. I would hope the PATHWORKS server would create a non-priv.ed account, so it would have to have a user interface to set policy (I speculate here).
