Hi We need to have a persistent statefile if we want to avoid to reuse a uid which was already used by some other user. Think of the following scenario:
adduser foo -> foo gets uid X deluser foo -> uid X is no longer used adduser bar -> bar gets uid X So this uid is reused, even with the "always increment the hightest already used uid by one and assign it to the new user"-algorithm. But the whole thing of making this value persistent seems rather ugly to me. Need to think some time about that, maybe I have a better idea to solve that issue (a file for a single value).
