If you arrange the user ids "the right way", using MinimumUid and MaximumUid should work for you though.
There is no "right way" given current options was my point. To include all required would include 100% of those that exist, unless multiple blocks could be excluded rather than including just one block, a very round about way much more complicated than simply having a short list of random IDs to include.
The question is how one comes by a list of UIDs for users which is nonconsecutive. User accounts normally start with a UID of 1000 (has been 500 in ancient SuSE times ...).
User IDs here date back into the prior century. OTOH, the system creates IDs as it sees fit, as packages are installed that require their own IDs. De minimus mixing occurs because the system does not give the sysadmin any opportunity to choose IDs for those it creates.
If you have assigned your UIDs in a random manner and mixed in system accounts, thats your fault. Dont blame other for your lack of organisation.
There's nothing random or disorganized about how I created my accounts. They are purposely non-consecutive. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
