Look at this PDF: http://www.apple.com/macosx/server/pdf/UnderstandingUsingNetInfo.pdf
Page 38, To quote: • The maximum UID is 2,147,483,647 • UIDs below 100 are reserved for system use • Users created in the Users pane of System Preferences are automatically assigned UIDs starting wih 500. You can change those UIDs using NetInfo Manager. • Users created in the Users & Groups module of Server Admin are automatically assigned UIDs starting with 100. These UIDs can be changed in the Users & Groups module. This means that UIDs from 100 to 500 are meant to be seen from System Preferences, otherwise they couldn't be changed from there after being created in Server Admin. So the bug in System Preferences, that it sees UIDs below 500 is not really a bug at all!!!
