I have to import a lot users (and some related tables) from another not-web application. I'd like to preserve the IDs of the users, because there are a lot of relations between the tables and I don't want to have to change them... and also because probably I'll have to periodically update those tables by mysql.
The users start from ID 1, so I have to move guest and Administrator. For the administrator is not a problem, because I can switch his ID to something like 100000 (we'll never have so many users). But what about the guest user? Can I delete it or is it required for the system?
Thanks for the help.

Well, I don't think to be able to find out all the consequences of deleting the guest user
I'll try it for sure, but only a developer can tell if there is any module/core function that NEED it

'Guest' being synonymous with 'Anonymous' or 'Unregisterd' I could see this presenting problems with base level permissions. Also some modules may have filters based on '$pnuid > 2' (RosterMaster does this to create a user list... seeing this has potential problems, I'll change it).
Actually I just did a quick check and .8's Securityutil:: uses 'pnUserGetVar('uid')' to check against so I assume changing either Admin or Anonymous id's will in fact be problematic with regard to permissions at least.
