Thanks Jonas, interesting paper, though it points out problems, it doesn't discuss any options to handle the problem, except the adduser is not essential problem. I was thinking of the reusability problem, and came up with the following: When an user/group is removed, it's placed in quarantine. That ID isn't used unless the same user/group is recreated, or that all other possible ID:s is exhausted. For most of the time, that would prevent an ID to be used for an other user/group. - -- /Carl Fürstenberg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://getfiregpg.org iEYEARECAAYFAkh4xgIACgkQPJieVlqrawLJ8ACgknymhjcuDhc+hcDywQggmnnR GWoAn385XL8Vup+NJRFA/xgqz6jD3t4i =sq0J -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
