manual user creation

Jon's stupid question of the day ...

Our faculty are having an issue with the 'they have to log in before they
can be added as a participant' thing.

So I manually added a test account to the SAKAI_USER_ID_MAP ( GEORGET )
this user is an LDAP user, not a local user and I made both the USER_ID and
EID GEORGET

is that ok since most of the USER_IDs are a random hashish looking thing?

Seems better this way since I can add him as a participant and it pulls his
name from LDAP etc.
Plus it creates a Site id of : ~georget

Any warnings with me moving forward with this concept?
