Woah, check this out: I just installed Debian a couple days ago, and 'thought' is my first user with UID 1000 and GID 1000. Look at what I found when I was poking around:
[21:35:35]/etc# find / -gid 1000 /usr/doc/procmail/HISTORY.gz /usr/doc/procmail/README.gz /usr/doc/procmail/FAQ.gz /usr/doc/procmail/FEATURES.gz /usr/man/man8/pppstats.8.gz /usr/man/man8/chat.8.gz /usr/man/man8/pppd.8.gz /usr/man/man1/pon.1.gz /var/catman/cat1/newgrp.1.gz /proc/244 /proc/285 /home/thought /home/thought/.lynxrc /home/thought/.zhistory [21:35:58]/etc# All of those files have GID 1000 ??? Look: [21:37:40]/etc# l /usr/doc/procmail total 19 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Mar 6 21:05 ./ drwxr-xr-x 102 root root 2048 Mar 10 01:02 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 thought thought 4199 Apr 10 1995 FAQ.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 thought thought 1887 Sep 27 1994 FEATURES.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 thought thought 5982 Oct 31 1994 HISTORY.gz lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Mar 6 21:05 README.DEBIAN -> ../copyright/procmail -rw-r--r-- 1 thought thought 2817 Dec 22 1994 README.gz [21:37:44]/etc# Why in the WORLD would stuff in /usr/doc/procmail have uid/gid 1000?? The first file I noticed with gid 1000 was /etc/cron.daily/ppp Just interesting is all. I'm going to chown all of them right now! :)
