The one thing that I do see as a potential problem (as you add more users) is the potential for the Posix UID's to be duplicated. Is there anyone here that has devised a script or some method of checking to see if the Posix UID is already in use when adding a user through the console. I am not so concerned about the GID, because we use Gentoo for our Linux desktop's and the GID for all users is going to be the same as the users group (100).

In relation of the addition of posix attributes to a user or group, is
it possible to add these attributes automatically when adding users or
group? If so, how do I go about it? How about automatically filling in
the attribute values especially the UID and GUID? Thanks
