Keep UID above 501 for login window account display
Authored by: kcamera on Aug 29, '03 04:04:36PM

I agree... I've always seen Joe User's UID kept above 500. But for some reason a company I work for has UID's scattered much lower (I think they offset from 100 or something). Mine was 209 -- I have no idea why :(

But as others have mentioned, maybe this hint can at least be helpful to *hide* additional special accounts from the preference panes and login window, even on a correctly run network where no one would need a UID less than 500.
