I'm trying to use fedora-useradd to create an account for running the
tclhttpd daemon
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169753), but it
doesn't seem that the baseuid in /etc/fedora/usermgmt/baseuid is being used:

[root at owl ~]# fedora-useradd 10 -d /tmp -s /bin/false testuser
useradd: warning: the home directory already exists.
Not copying any file from skel directory into it.
[root at owl ~]# grep testuser /etc/passwd
testuser:x:514:514::/tmp:/bin/false

Shouldn't this user have been created with uid=310?  Or am I invoking
fedora-useradd incorrectly?
