[ale] UID variable in csh?

[John Wells]

It would be that simple, but it's an NIS managed box and I don't want to
simply cat the yp/passwd file as it's location is likely to change.

The perl seems to work fine, though, as does your C solution.  I was just
hoping there was a csh var available, as I'm not guaranteed perl will be
installed on destination boxes and packaging a c executable involved a tad
bit more overhead.

Thanks for both of your help!
