Precisely. And they can be faked.
The drawback of this is different users could have the same ID on different computers. For example, I could be user 1000 on my computer and you would be 1000 on yours. An NFS file server sharing for ID 1000 couldn't tell the difference between me & you.
Absolutely. Users can not be remapped, to my knowledge. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
