I'm not sure what "properly" means.  And I don't know how the idealx 
scripts do it, as I have never used them.  But I know they are there and 
work - as I've communicated with lots of people who have used them.

It is a valid concern.  I use a single sequence so that even UIDs and GIDs 
don't overlap with each other.

Well, thats one wat to avoid collision! :)
