I think the only reasonable solution here is to package your own
shadow-utils and point yum to your custom packages repo in the
kickstart.

Ugh, I forgot some system daemons will be installed and eat UIDs
between 500-1000.  Including your own shadow-utils with a modified
login.defs is probably the best solution.

Ideally, authconfig would gain an option to do this so that line of
the kickstart could modify it.  (Although anaconda might run that too
late too, I don't know.)

Why can't you do it in %post?  This is exactly the type of thing it
was intended for.

Yes I install with kickstart. But I always do the partitioning
manually to make sure I do not format any disks I should not.

To injet a logon.defs I would first have to format the disks,and set
up the raid (my computers are all very diffrent, so this means a
custom kickstart file for every machine) programatically in the %pre,
then mount the disk and finally inject the logon.defs while also
making sure anaconda does not reformat the disk (the graphical
anaconda forbids installing to existing partition)

Try installing with a kickstart file. The fedoraproject wiki has
details on syntax and how to customise.
