Except I have no idea what uids and gids were compiled into various
programs. And it isn't like I'm going to make sweeping changes to
my SunOS 4 box. Or, my Digital UNIX filesystems are mounted ro, nodev, nosuid
because I 1) don't want to reboot into DU and 2) don't want to risk
hosing my only DU install. Plus one day we might actually get a MacOS X
box around here. 

It's a dirty mess and I bet it will never be cleaned up.
