[PROPOSAL] Chapter 15. Users & Groups: mininal UID for normal Users

[Johannes Poehlmann <johannes@caldera.de>]

I propose to change the following paragraph of
Chapter 15. Users & Groups:

OLD
	All normal users and normal user groups will
	be above the uid/gid of 100. No system required
	uid or gid is to be placed above uid/gid 99 as
	this may clash with real users imported via
	NIS or LDAP from other Unix systems. (FIXME:
	What about Red Hat's use of 500 for this? Do
	other Linux distributions all use 100? Is there
	another standard we can reference which contains
	the 100 rule?)

NEW
        All normal users will be above the uid of 500. 
	All normal groups will be above the gid of 100. 
	No system required uid or gid is to be placed 
	above uid/gid 99 as
	this may clash with real users imported via
	NIS or LDAP from other Unix systems. The 
	uid range  100-499 is reserved for future use
	to be prepared if some time in the future 
	99 system users could be not enough.
