Oh, interesting. Can you point to some official reference for this? I would like to see which 'Linux standard' sets uid '65535 OR 65536' to that of nobody? Is this true of non-RH systems? Does Fedora also follow this standard, or is Fedora non-compliant with the standards? Ubuntu? I have been out of touch with the Linux community for quite some time now, so might not be updated. > Whats there to correct? I'm sorry. > PS: This is a common interview question. That's amazing! Is the question related to the user "nobody" or knowing the user's uid? Or you mean to say "It's a common interview question for RHCE candidates"?
