bug#37423: Changing the login service from GDM to SLiM and then back to GDM causes a really bad loop

Hi Ludo'!

However, looking at the allocation routines in (gnu build accounts), I think that this would forcefully set ‘gdm’ to 900/900 on existing

installations, even if 900 is already used by another account:

I'm already using GID 900 (and others) for my own nefarious ends. How would this even deal with that? Am I doomed to forever jump around, dodging new hard-coded GIDs?

(Or we could use much lower UID/GID numbers, which are less likely to be

taken…)

‘Likely’, eek ;-)

So now you're coming after my ‘25’ vmail user, eh.

Kind regards,

T G-R
