[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#286258: System accounts ranging from 0 to 1000?

[Christian Perrier]

In #286258, I wrote:

"usermod.8 mentions that syustem accounts UIDs are usually bvetween 0
and 99. However, at least in Debian, this range is 0-1000.

So, we should probably correct usermod.8 man page. However, I"m not
sure whether it should be fixed upstream or not.

What about other systems, Tomasz. I bet that most now use UIDs over
1000 for normal users. 

The answer to this will decide whether we ask for this to be fixed
upstream or only in Debian."

I intend to fix this bug for the next release of the Debian
package. However, I need to know whether you consider fixing this
upstream as well, Tomasz.

Your mileage may vary as not all systems are likely to have system
accounts ranging from 1 to 999...
