I propose to change the following paragraph of
Chapter 15. Users & Groups:
OLD
All normal users and normal user groups will
be above the uid/gid of 100. No system required
uid or gid is to be placed above uid/gid 99 as
this may clash with real users imported via
NIS or LDAP from other Unix systems. (FIXME:
What about Red Hat's use of 500 for this? Do
other Linux distributions all use 100? Is there
another standard we can reference which contains
the 100 rule?)
NEW
All normal users will be above the uid of 500.
All normal groups will be above the gid of 100.
No system required uid or gid is to be placed
above uid/gid 99 as
this may clash with real users imported via
NIS or LDAP from other Unix systems. The
uid range 100-499 is reserved for future use
to be prepared if some time in the future
99 system users could be not enough.
