NAME
     projid - project name to project ID mapping file

DESCRIPTION
     Project IDs are stored internally by IRIX as numeric values.  However,
     the /etc/project file specifies projects using ASCII names.  The
     /etc/projid file is used to map these ASCII names to numeric values that
     IRIX can use.

     Entries in /etc/projid consist simply of a project name and numeric
     project ID value, separated by a colon.  Each entry should be separated
     by a newline, and should contain no white-space.  A ``#'' at the
     beginning of a line indicates a comment.  The numeric values for project
     IDs should be positive numbers.  Invalid entries may be ignored, or may
     have other undefined effects.

     A simple projid file might look like this:

          #
          # projid file for ReallyBigCo Corporate Data Center
          #
          genuser:1
          sysadm:2
          guests:999
