Summary:
Installation under Linux with prefix in $PATH causes user id number (UID) queries to fail

Detailed description
When installing OpenSim Core executables into a directory that is contained in the PATH environment can cause shell scripts to call the wrong 'id' executable. id returns user and group IDs for users. If the 'id' executable installed by OpenSim is located in a directory that is searched before standard LSB locations (e. g. /usr/bin), there can be unexpected side effects.
