This topic is about avoiding user name/group clashes. However that is solved (e.g. by the proposed policy/convention), avoiding clashing UIDs is still an open question. (TBH I don't care much about the names - the important thing are the UIDs/GIDs.)
useradd choses a new uid for each user so the uid clash is avoided implicitly by using different user names.
Hmm, the discussion started with problems - at least partly - to avoid clashes in heterogeneous environments, e.g. with LDAP [1]. AFAIK also the UIDs are in LDAP in such a case ... so I don't understand how 'useradd' would help in this scenario. Do I miss something? After all, IMHO avoiding clashes (may it be names or IDs) is best done by avoiding to create more users for such daemons.
