you want this, and you don't get to specify an id in this range.
"foreign" pts users get high bit(s) set to indicate they're foreign, iirc,
but in any case begin with a high number and count up by some greater than
1 number.

pts createuser -name crossrealmuser@ttu.edu

this doesn't mean what you want.
