I just installed 9.1 on a new system and ran into a difference between
how the installer creates new users and how drakconf does.  I created
a couple of users during the install and they ended up with uid = 501
and 502.  As they always have on previous versions of Mandrake.

Then when the system was up I created several more, very carefully
creating them in the same order as on our other systems.  After I
spent all the time getting them created and set up, I discovered that
they did not match the uid's on our other systems.  It seems that
drakconf starts its numbering at 500.  So, using letters for the order
in which I created them, the users were a=501, b=502, c=500, d=503,
e=504, etc.

I had to rip out all the users from c up, create a dummy at 500 and
redo them.

Argghhh. Why?
