I have done one server installation and one agent installation of
ossec.
In both cases the user ossec was created with a uid of 5626 and group
ossec with a gid of 4067.
Are these values fixed / hard-coded?

I am now looking at installing further agents using the "Install Once
Copy Everywhere" method in the book.
On some of our servers this UID is already in use.

I would like to keep UIDs and GIDs consistent between servers.
Is there any issue with using a different UID / GID?
If I manually change them will they be changed back on running a
subsequent OSSEC update?
