Public bug reported:
The user-admin dialog in Edgy doesn't show the
"show all users" checkbox anymore, and only the users with UID > 1000 are shown.
I can see how this may be regarded as a "feature", simplifying the interface,
but in some cases may be quite annoying.
* test-case (my case): I'm adding a PC to a network with NFS shares; some users
over the network have UIDs < 1000, and I need these UIDs to be preserved for
NFS to work properly. When I change the pre-defined UIDs, those users are not
listed anymore, and I have to edit their properties via console.
* test-case 2: I'm just curious, or want to have a look to the complete list of
users in a graphical fashion. users-admin was a good tool for that, when it was
able to show all users.
**WORKAROUND:
sudo vi /etc/login.defs
change UID_MIN to 1
this is not very clean, but I guess that if one needs to change
automatically generated user-ids, he should also be able to take care
not to assign "reserved" userids to normal users.
** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)
