Fedora 16 Will Number UIDs From 1000 124

Posted by Unknown Lamer from the two-hundred-uids-should-be-enough-for-anyone dept.
dotancohen writes "Sharing users between Fedora and Debian-based distros just got a little easier. Beginning with Fedora 16, the Red-Hat based distro will number its human user UIDs starting from 1000, as opposed to the old 500. Though this change is intended to facilitate interoperability with other distros, it risks breaking backward compatibility with older Fedora releases including the newly released Fedora 15."
