I see on my CentOS systems that certain users for particular subsystems
have standardised UIDs and GIDs. For example mysql=27, ntp=38, sshd=74.
My two questions are:
1. Is there a list of these standard assignments somewhere? Googling did
not turn up anything for me.
Different distros and different sysadmins have their own ideas about what
numbers to use - I used to use 80 for the apache web user, but Debian for
some weird reason likes 33 for example...
2. Are there standard values of UID and GID reserved for the "asterisk"
user, if used for running Asterisk as non-root.?
No. You may find that CentOS has an idea of what UIDs it likes to reserve
for 'system' processes vs. users... See the man page for useradd (-r
option) or adduser (--system option) depending on which one you prefer.
