That allows more than one user NAME to have the same UID:

sosaatm:/etc # useradd -o -u 2000 user1
sosaatm:/etc # useradd -o -u 2000 user2
sosaatm:/etc # useradd -o -u 2000 user3
sosaatm:/etc # grep user /etc/passwd
user1:x:2000:100::/home/user1:/bin/bash
user2:x:2000:100::/home/user2:/bin/bash
user3:x:2000:100::/home/user3:/bin/bash
