Yes I do know Option -r, but sometimes you're not happy with this solution. In case of syncing files between different system you want to have unique id. And if creating a "new" unique ID, where do you know if this id is "not in use yet". There must be a list of "regisstered" id's, isn't it ?
Yes. For example the samba package creaates a group named ntadmin always with the same GID 71. We had to register this ID in the past. At that point in time (Aug 28 2002) this was an internal process. Nowadays the question is how to register such persistent IDs in the openSUSE world?
