Numeric usernames
If I cannot avert the move to numeric usernames, I guess the next step is to try it out and see what happens. Don't do it. We have had a similar need since the beginning of time, but don't give into it - UNI staff and student numbers. To my knowledge no system in current use here uses a number alone as a "username"

Think: Numerous userspace tools give usernames in directory listings. If the length of a username was unlimited, what would `ps aux' look like? No. Long commands, options, &c, are good when you are learning. However, once you know something, and are using it, the shorter and faster to type a given option is,
