On Red Hat UID for normal users (as opposed to processes and services) used to start on 500.
This turns out to be an obsticle when one wants to move the users (their homedirs) from an server based on that convenrion to an Ubuntu (Debian) based server. The following files need correcting and a new pawwd needs to be created with the same UID's as the old ones:
adduser.conf:FIRST_UID=1000
gdm/factory-gdm.conf:MinimalUID=1000
gdm/gdm.conf:MinimalUID=1000
X11/gdm/factory-gdm.conf:MinimalUID=1000
X11/gdm/gdm.conf:MinimalUID=1000
I know NIS and SSH has some issues with this too. Will post more on this topic when I find out.
