I changed the comment to:
		/* setpwent / getpwent / endpwent can be very slow with
		 * LDAP configurations (and many accounts).
		 * Since there is a limited amount of IDs to be tested
		 * for system accounts, we just check the existence
		 * of IDs with getpwuid.

Regarding the default value for SYS_UID_MIN / SYS_GID_MIN, is it really
101 on RedHat, or should it be 100?
(On Debian, only 0-99 is statically reserved)
