Package: passwd Version: 1:4.8.1-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: stefa...@karandreas.gr
Dear Maintainer, the manpage for useradd states that for -r option, the numeric identifiers are chosen in the range of SYS_UID_MIN-SYS_UID_MAX instead of UID_MIN-UID_MAX. In turn -u option specifies that the default is to use the smallest ID value greater than or equal to UID_MIN. As I find out and verified in #690963 message 15, for --system the default is a top-down policy. Could the entry for -r option get updated to more clearly specify that in contrast to -u, for -r the default is the largest ID value less than or equal to SYS_UID_MAX?
