The same language, except for 'normal' being used instead of 'system', is used to document plain adduser (without --system). The normal case then goes on to describe --firstuid/--lastuid. So, I agree the documentation is correct. But, is there a good reason to permit overriding the normal UID range via the command line, but not permit overriding the system UID range? > Is your goal reached with adduser --disabled-login --firstuid 200 test1? Only partially, because I want the suppression of copying /etc/skel and running chfn that --system provides.
