Hi,
thanks for your quick reply.
I see, multiboot with different /etc but shared /usr or /local could invite a lot of trouble if using different UIDs, indeed! Thanks for the quick explanation.

AFAICS, user "man" has had UID 6 since at least Debian 6/squeeze
From looking at an Ubuntu 16.04 System I administer, User "man" (uid 6) is, apparently the owner of /var/cache/man, which appears to be an area for translating man pages. Who creates this User?
Ohh, this is interesting, so I wonder why I had a different value then, maybe something else was wrong with my system then...
Could there be multiple Packages that might attempt to Create that User (man)?
Best regards,
Kenneth Parker
