For general, LSB compliant usage, you have only the first 100 uids which can be assigned statically. Fedora Core uses a large part of this range already, so it is not available for Fedora Extras. The range of 100..499 is reserved for system users too, but for dynamic assignment only. In another thread on this list, somebody suggested to change the LSB to allow static uids in this range. I think, this change will never happen because it would break existing systems. Uids above 500 is also unavailable because it is used by local systems. Enrico
