[rt-users] rename "Nobody" ?

[Ken Crocker]

Jo Rhett & Jesse & List,

Couldn't you just run an SQL on the DataBase and change the "Name" field 
on the USER table for ID = 10 to be whatever you want? Unless RT has a 
lot of "hard-coded" logic looking for the literal "Nobody" instead of 
the Id, wouldn't that work?
