I'm not sure that's true. Yes, only UIDs less than 100 are reserved. However, unless that UID can be seen by another system (e.g., the owner of a file through NFS), couldn't it be dynamically assigned to any available slot in the normal UID space during installation time? -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
