user nobody/ nogroup uid number should be 65534?

<< < (2/2)

roberts:
There does not seem to be an official uid for user nobody.
Knoppix and therefore DSL used 65534, others including Fedora use 99.
I have no issue with a change to 65534 for nobody.

bigpcman:
Thank you Robert.

FWIW, I think the real "fix" would be to have the package itself changed to utilize nobody/nogroup in the archive...

I just recalled that some id guidelines have id's < 100/1000/500 be designated for system services... and everything above it for users.  Perhaps that's why it was 99.
