Hmm, good question. Can you give me an example of an uid which has
been allocated that way?
Perhaps I should follow policy more closely, yes, but that would mean
using the range 1000-29999 only, not 1000-59999, as 30000-59999 is
"reserved" (whatever that means).
If an admin which runs out of UIDs in his system modifies
/etc/adduser.conf, will he remember to modify the upper bound in
/etc/profile as well?
