  UM is a lot bigger than SFU, and some of the issues that we managed to slid
  through (a common uid space for the whole campus for instance) will be

Actually, that's one of the only parts that has been done here.  We've got a
pretty nifty distributed system for assigning uids called uniqname.  I think
there's a paper on it somewhere (Usenix?).  Some large fraction of the
University community now has a unique Unix uid.
