The following series implements the deterministic uid/gid setting for a distribution. Currently when a filesystem is generated the uid/gid values are generally set at install time, so the install order determines what the actual uid/gid values become. In order to create a deterministic uid/gid set, that still dynamically constructs the passwd/group file, we add an option to read a special passwd/group file to allow the system to determine the values.
It uses the existing parameters, and the values from the special passwd/group files to reconstruct the parameter set to ensure these items are fully defined with static values. The first patch (01/02) is generally applicable. It fixes a real bug in the way the user/group adds occur today within the system. Patch 02/02 implements the new functionality.
