[gentoo-dev] passwd and group files in new baselayout

[Will Rogers]

Hi all,

I didn't get any answer for this in the user list, so I'll try it here.
It's a little more dev-related anyway.

I just merged the new baselayout package, and I have one question:

The new /etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow files have some
different id numbers for different accounts, and one that I added myself
(postdrop) is now included, but with a different id than I used.  Should
I make an effort to change to these new ids, or it not matter?  That is,
do ebuilds assume certain a uid or gid when installing a package?

Thanks,

Will Rogers
