Hello,
I found the following in the man page of pw(8).
> -u min,max, -i min,max
> These options set the minimum and maximum user and group
> ids allocated for new accounts and groups created by pw.
> The default values for each is 1000 minimum and 32000 maxi-
> mum. min and max are both numbers, where max must be
> greater than min, and both must be between 0 and 32767. In
> general, user and group ids less than 100 are reserved for
> use by the system, and numbers greater than 32000 may also
> be reserved for special purposes (used by some system dae-
> mons).
Please note the last 2 sentences.
Added to this, I also checked source codes of pw(8).
And, I found the same restriction there, too.
Currently, I have nobody (uid = 65534) account as a default account on
my box. It might be easy to guess that the maximum is greater than
65533. My question is why such a restricion still remains.
