Thanks Jonas, interesting paper, though it points out problems, it
doesn't discuss any options to handle the problem, except the adduser
is not essential problem.
I was thinking of the reusability problem, and came up with the following:
When an user/group is removed, it's placed in quarantine. That ID
isn't used unless the same user/group is recreated, or that all other
possible ID:s is exhausted. For most of the time, that would prevent
an ID to be used for an other user/group.
