Operating Systems Solaris Using all numeric for username Post 302205328 by Perderabo on Saturday 14th of June 2008 10:45:17 AM

You might try making the user name the same as the uid. So user named "13598029" would just happen to have a uid of 13598029. Then when software mistakes one for the other... it's still right.

No guarantees though....just a random thought...
