But that doesn't actually matter, it is merely an historical issue that *may* have been relevant way back when, but also may have just been the way things were done with no real affect on anything. I'm not sure. The only UID that should *possibly* still be assumed is 0. There is no actual difference in system behavior between UID 99 and UID 100 unless someone knows of a horribly broken package out there that makes such assumptions. It should be strictly a local policy issue. As far as the book, I really don't have an opinion one way or another as I, like several others, use my own system. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
