[OpenIndiana-discuss] 151a8 User/group gui frontend not usable

[Lou Picciano]

Hello Harry,

I don't use this gui frontend of which you speak(!), so can't help with that...

But there is a '-u uid' option to useradd; see $ useradd -h

If you are going to start changing uids with wild abandon, you'll want to stick to 'regular' users. Note also that OI has set aside a group of Reserved UIDs documented on the Wiki. These are IDs which you'd probably not be running into anyway - I hope? - so may not present any obstacles.
