They are? They aren't. At home I'm using this passwd and group entries: root:*:0:0:,S-1-5-32-544:: root:S-1-5-32-544:0: which means (according to the ntsec documentation) that neither the name nor the uid/gid are fixed values. Of course that's a problem I didn't think of when inventing this free floating method. AFAICS, the only uid we insist on being fixed is the 18 for SYSTEM but only of desparation. ;-) I think the default should be SYSTEM/18. OTOH, I think it's pretty much ok to use the 544 as default but the script should test then, if that uid actually exists, right?
