Inline::Files sounds like a good idea. the UID number attribute will be used for the posixAccount object class (unix logins), so i'm pretty sure it actually has to be a number. using an ancillary file would've been my other option, although i think if i can store the uid in the script it might be the most convenient.
Wait a tic...the last time I added Unix accounts, I don't remember the need to specify a UID. The system takes care of this automatically. Am I missing something?
