Description

A user reported on the user@ list that he was having a conflict with the admin user and the syslog user on an Ubuntu system because the syslog user had a uid of 101, which is what is set for the admin user. We should either set uid for the admin user to NULL, set it to a higher value, or have vcld check for a conflict before adding the user and either allow the OS to set the UID for the user or fail the reservation.
