Since I sent my previous note, it occured to me that I missed a whole set of
potential problems with user administration:
1.Do the three systems have any conflicting assignments of user names?
2.Do the three systems have any conflicting assignments of user and group
numbers?
3.Can the owners of the three systems agree on a common policy regarding which
people have access to root privilege?
4.Can the owners of the three systems agree on a common policy regarding which
people have access to non-root user IDs with special privileges (IDs used to
administer databases, for example)?
5.Can the owners of the three systems agree on a common policy regarding which
people can get ordinary user accounts (for example, can they all agree on
including or excluding undergraduate students)?
