Description Lars Noodén 2007-06-12 17:38:07 UTC 
Version:           0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

/etc/login.defs allows setting min/max values for automatic uid selection in useradd

e.g.
UID_MIN                  2000
UID_MAX                 60000

However, System Settings -> User Managment ignores the lower value (it may well ignore the upper value, too, I haven't checked) and instead starts at 1000.
Comment 1 Lars Noodén 2007-06-12 17:39:08 UTC 
The expected behavior would be for System Settings -> User Managment to start with the minimum value specified by UID_MIN in /etc/login.defs
Comment 2 Lars Noodén 2008-08-12 16:22:07 UTC 
Still present in KDE 3.5.9
