hi, Thanks for the input,
In fact, uid and gid are officially limited to 16bits. (some filesystems fails with larger uids. (the owner is the reminder of the large uid modulo 16bits), so this can be dangerous. old oscar used to sync /etc/password from head to the nodes. It seems to work so far, but I'll take your remark into account, if we need to improve the current behaviour.

The only thing that I would say is use a very large uid (eg. 4294000004) as is typical for nfsnobody. I think that is the best way to avoid possibly uid collisions without getting into distro specific tests.
