my new uid would be 526 and I would keep the 1000 as a gid but
renamed from cazzola to collab. If 526 is the problem how I can solve
this?
login.defs (adduser) and /etc/security/* (various login modules)
systemd also has a setting, which gets picked at *compile* time (
--with-system-uid-max), so you may not be able to without recompiling
systemd.
