Keep UID above 501 for login window account display
Authored by: daveinthesky on Apr 16, '04 04:05:51AM

I changed my uid to 500 with using a similar 'find' approach on 10.2 and have had no problems logging in/whatever. And my user still appears on the login page.

I did have to tweak a couple of files, though:

in /Library/Caches I had to rename a couple of files that were named *****.501 to *****.500

I actually don't know if that affected anything, but this is where the login photos are stored by the system.
