My "joe" landed on uid slot "5214". That would actually break when I
turn on LDAP on this system, as there is a user on this slot.
As a test i ran the
exact same command on my desktop and my joe ended up at
10003 i double checked i had not configured /etc/fedora/usermgmt/baseuid
and it says 300 which is the default offset. my user should have been 342
based on how its supposed to work
as a further test i ran
fedora-useradd 40 -d /home/bloggs bloggs
that user got 10004 something is really wrong with it
