[scponly] PATCH: support for multiple users with the same uid

[Kaleb Pederson]

Steve,

The patch itself seems fine, but I would like to know more about why you need 
to have multiple users with the same uid?  Obviously, this prevents the 
operating system from enforcing permissions based on uid, which doesn't seem 
like a good idea to me -- so I'm curious if it's something I would consider a 
reasonable use case.

Thanks.
