Yes. Linux uses different UID/GID assignments than SGI does for some
things. For example, if your home directories are owned by the staff
group, you might find them owned by the uucp group when mounted on your
Linux box. As long as your linux box has the same UID for each user and
same GID for each group, you should be OK. Otherwise ... it can get really
weird!
