Gentoo always had UID_MIN=1000 and SYS_UID_MAX=999. why do you thing gentoo is everyone's first or only dist on their network? or even on any given box? forcing existing boxen to change just because a new dist is added is also unacceptable. for me though, it would be enough if there is something i can add to make.conf to ensure that the acct-user and acct-group builds avoid the ranges i already use. that may also work for others. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6
