Hmm, good question. Can you give me an example of an uid which has been allocated that way? Perhaps I should follow policy more closely, yes, but that would mean using the range 1000-29999 only, not 1000-59999, as 30000-59999 is "reserved" (whatever that means). If an admin which runs out of UIDs in his system modifies /etc/adduser.conf, will he remember to modify the upper bound in /etc/profile as well? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
