Keeping uid (<500) in sync

[Alex Samad <alex@samad.com.au>]

Hi

I was wondering how (in debian land) do people keep gid's and uid for <500 (ie 
the system, daemon in sync on multiple machines.

I just spent 10 min trying to work out why my bind9 would not start, why 
because I just installed my ldap package which works great for uid& gid > 500.

system uid& gid get created as needed so depending which order you install 
packages will determine which order (and thus ) uid& gid are created and 
numbered


so right now my toolbox consists of find -uid || -gid  -exec and vim 
/etc/{passwd|group}
