Welcome to Ubuntu! * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ 11 packages can be updated. 6 updates are security updates. Last login: Thu Dec 22 09:38:52 2011 from coyote.coyote.den gene@shop:~$ sudo useradd -u 500 gene [sudo] password for gene: useradd: user 'gene' already exists So there isn't an obvious way to make the user numbers match between the *buntu's and the rest of the world.
