Cybis install issue.

Historically, special/privileged user accounts tended to be assigned low UI values, so it's not surprising that CYBIS wants 30B and 31B. I'll create a modset for MODVAL that starts auto-assigned user UI's at a higher value, e.g., 100B.

As mentioned in the thread, the cybis install script uses fixed user index numbers beginning at 30B or 31B, yet creating users using defaults (k.c,username) after install basic, but before cybis, with UI=0 during creation, defaults to user index 30B.

Fixes: adjust UI numbers for cybis into something that won't conflict on an installed/running system with local user accounts, not defaults, if cybis is installed as an afterthought.

Alternately, the initial default UI for modval could be changed to not conflict with an after-the-fact install of cybis.

I am actually wondering if by following basic->everything else->cybis build order, things aren't in some other account like netadm or any other that was created with said hardcoded UIs, and just not in my personal account, after rebuilding and having to do users and files on three instances, instead of one instance, built minimal, loaded with users and files, the, built up into two chains, with and without cybis, propagating the initial user/file load.

Sounds like a fix! Thanks.

New modset NCCAUI has been added to the collection of NOS modifications. NCCAUI ensures that automatically selected UI's begin at 171B.

To apply this modset to a previously installed NOS 2.8.7:

sudo node modopl
sudo node install-product -f nos
sudo node make-ds-tape

Then shutdown NOS 2.8.7, rename tapes/newds.tap to tapes/ds.tap, and re-deadstart NOS 2.8.7
