this. i clearly underestimated this issue. (c:

UID                                    GID
----------------------------------------------------------------------
0-500     OS assigned - I don't care   0-500 OS assigned - I don't care
500-600   Set aside for RH screwups    500-600 UPG for RH screwups
600-800   not currently assigned       600-800 UPG for same 
800-900   system admins and "specials" 800-900 UPG for system admins
900-1000  wasted                       900-1000 department special groups
1000-1200 wasted                       1000-1200 normal groups
1200-1300 wasted                       1200-1300 web server groups
1300-2000 wasted                       1300-2000 future groups
2000->    normal users                 2000-> UPG for normal groups


i found this here. what i did not find was a good reasoning for
having ranges for special groups/users like admins vs normal
users etc.

this is exactly what posix groups and ldap is good for: no need
to care about this kind of stuff manually. what this guy writing
this webpage is struggeling with is 1) redhat 2) solaris. (c:
