| Yes... Why is this a FreeBSD problem then? I would have thought it  
would be up
| to MacOS to do the UID remapping (I must be missing something)

  I'm trying to support a user experience similar to Mac OS using  
BSD underneath (for Mac OS version 10).  The goal being simplicity  
for the user, which I think might interest some FreeBSD users as well  
as my customers.

| If you want proper username mapping shouldn't you be using a  
distributed user
| map (like NIS)?

  And what happens accross NIS domains?
