May I remind everybody that by QA policy allocation of UIDs and GIDs in the range 0..100 needs explicit approval by the QA lead: https://projects.gentoo.org/qa/policy-guide/user-group.html#pg0901
I have fixed the used_free_uidgids.sh script such that it will no longer recommend any IDs below 101. In any case, we have run out of GIDs: Recommended GID only: none Recommended UID only: 272 Recommended UID+GID pair: none Free UIDs: 15 Free GIDs: 0 Free UID+GID pairs: 0 The question is of course how we should move forward. Certainly, using IDs below 100 cannot be the solution, as we would run out of these very soon. We could: - Open some part of the range between 500 and 1000. For example, 500..799, which would leave 200 IDs for dynamic allocation. - Open part of the range 60001..65533. Not sure if all software will be happy with that. - Admit that the concept of static allocation has failed, and return to dynamic allocation. Ulrich
