Just a side note here... there are some third party
packages /applications which used/use static id's between 100 and
200 ... especially between 101 and 106 it is quite easy to find
"recommended" numbers for some apps. As Peter said, useradd assigns
dynamic system id's from the top of the range, going down - so the
conflicts with existing dynamic system accounts are really unlikely to
happen there.
