Well, you don't know for sure whether John's binaries would install,
because he hasn't said exactly what UID's/GID's he'd use. The ones he
gave were examples. The preselected ID's should be carefully selected
to maximize the likelihood of success. E.g., sets in the rough ranges:
50-100
101-500
501-5000
5001-32000
33000-64000
Would be a good start. One of which would almost certainly work on any
of our systems here. (We generally use UID's 4949X and GID's 3131X for
qmail).
