Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I fully agree with #3. But I would go one step further: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Make complete SYS_UID_MIN - SYS_UID_MAX range available for GLEP 81. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The only argument/reason I am aware of, "but 501-999 could be used by |
| 8 |
system" (Dynamic allocation by user.eclass), isn't strong enough from my |
| 9 |
POV because system administrator can already pick something between |
| 10 |
SYS_UID_MIN-MAX so system must be already capable of dealing with such |
| 11 |
scenarios. So why do you think this range must be reserved? Isn't |
| 12 |
blocking 501-999 just another random choice? |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Therefor I would change the recommendation to pick highest free number. |
| 15 |
I.e. it should be recommended to pick the lowest free UID/GID pair |
| 16 |
instead (just to avoid fragmentation and keep 501+ free as long as |
| 17 |
possible). |
