I have the problem when switching from one server to the other, I want to have as many things the same as possible. Standardized. UID's are one of them. Is it a good idea to group systemaccounts together? For example I've a mailserver running postfix, with virusscanning done by the combination of clamav/clamsmtp and spamchekking done by spamassassin. So I need at least 4 different accounts: postfix: the uids/gids postfix/postfix and nobody/nogroup and the gid postdrop clamav and clamsmtp: the uid/gid clamav/clamav spamassassin: the uid/gid spamassassin/spamassassin What about reserving a range in the numbers for uids and gids for all mail and related software: for example from 100 to 150. And within these you're free to choose. Any relation between port and uidnr/gidnr is not possible with this concept.
