Description rob holland (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-02-23 09:04:05 UTC 
I think this would benefit a lot of people who don't want portage adding what are generally daemon accounts in the midst of their user accounts (as portage will do by default by user useradd).

This should help keep user ids cleaner.

enewuser will now only select uid's from the range of 100-999 inclusive (unless the user specifies a uid, then that will be used if it's available)
