and because someone decicdes to compile different the admin should
be forced to re-compile? that's not how the world works!
Please, no! As soon as you use disparate systems in a network
environment, having differing versions of UID_MIN (where recompilation
is required to change) is just wrong. As the message above sys, "yes,
that is actually used and needed". I see no valid justification for
removing that functionality
+1
UID_MIN 500
UID_MAX 60000
GID_MIN 500
GID_MAX 60000
still here in use and that won't change
if somebody enforces to change that at compile time he don't
care for any production setups not re-installed every year
and decides to break things just for fun
