add a user

[Stew Schneider]

The "UID" is an identification number only, rather than a permission. 
The fact that the new user has a higher number than you have only 
indicates that he was added after you, not that he has a "higher" 
permission to access files.

Permissions are another matter altogether. You might try Googling for 
file permissions and read up on it. It's really very powerful, and will 
take more than a note to do it justice.

Good luck!
