Hello,

	I've been pouring through any document I can get my hands onto and
	can't find if there is any significance to a user id that is greater
	than 32000.

	There are a couple of user id's in our system defined in the 64000
	range (notably the nobody user) and I was wondering if this infers
	additional/reduced priviledges.

	If anyone could answer this question or point out documentation for
	this, I would greatly appreciate it.

						Tony
