Hello,
I wan't to create a new usergroup but don't want a collision with system groups later.
Just use a high enough number. Above 1000, currently.
A good thing is to consult /etc/login.defs and look for GID_MIN, GID_MAX.
<OT> A trip down memory lane.
I dabbled with this a few years back when LSB (Linux Standard Base) was the hot thing and we were making our own router distribution. GID followed UID.
The system User IDs from 0 to 99 should be statically allocated by the system, and shall not be created by applications.
The system User IDs from 100 to 499 should be reserved for dynamic allocation by system administrators and post install scripts using useradd.

Yes, but at some point SuSE decided to go up to 1000, not 500 :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
