(Not sure about CIFS and various other network filesystems but at least AFS prefers a global UID space.) There's also the problem with roaming UID-capable filesystems, like ext4 on a USB drive. I really think all of those should have some sort of mapping between the filesystem's and LDAP server's internal user id and the host-local UID space. But yes, ponies. My point is that until the above exists admins really do need to be prepared to deal with UID collisions caused by changes in the OS or by switching between OS:es or machines. Therefore it is ok for the OS to extend the reserved range from 500 to 1000. (It's a 31-bit range for crying out loud, there's plenty of room.) /abo -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
