Keep UID above 501 for login window account display
pick something larger, random and with more digits. The problem with 501 is that it is everyone's default uid and it therefore presents a security hole when used with NFS.
Keep UID above 501 for login window account display
I didn't mean to imply that the UID *should* be 501, only that numbers less than 501 are filtered out. I agree that you should be careful using any values in the low 500's, but all you have to do is dump the user database from NetInfo and make sure you're not using an existing value. I did NOT try seeing if the OS checks for collisions when creating new accounts -- for example, if you use 503 and then create a third user account using System Preferences, I don't know if OSX will skip that value or cause a problem... |
