In preparation for F16, I wonder what the best approach to handling the new uid/gid limit is. I'm not upgrading, so the new limit will be in effect after installing the new Fedora. I always keep the old version for at least the duration of the next release cycle, so I can go back in case of trouble. I keep all user created data on a separate partition that I mount and then symlink directories into the filesystem (e.g. ~/work, firefox/thunderbird profiles), but have a separate /home/[username] for each version of Fedora. (Just in case some user settings might change in incompatible ways. Ref F14-F15) The change is in raising the limit, but are there actually accounts created in the range between the old and the new limit when installing, or can I just change back the uid/gid numbers and the limit in /etc/login.defs afterwards? The other option would be to change uid/gid for all files and modify F15 accordingly. Would this require me to change more than uid/gid for all the files and user accounts? I guess 'chown -R newUID:newGID ~/*' would be the wrong way to do this, if there are files with other values for oldUID/oldGID?
