I haven't gotten that working, although I had limited time to look at the 
problem. I have one machine with uid issues, so I would like to have a better 
fix than a series of one time hacks. On the other hand, I have a bunch of other 
machines which have uid match and take most of my time, so uid fixing has 
dropped to my "would be nice" list.
