[Freeipa-users] UID 999, not possible?

[sysadmin at noboost.org]

Hi All,

Is there a weird restriction to UID 999 in ipa, as IPA keeps changing
the UID when I add a user with that number? (I've already checked the
UID isn't in use)

[root at sysvm-ipa ~]# ipa user-add administrator --uid=999 --gidnumber=132
--first=administrator --last=administrator
--------------------------
Added user "administrator"
--------------------------
  User login: administrator
  First name: administrator
  Last name: administrator
  Full name: administrator administrator
  Display name: administrator administrator
  Initials: aa
  Home directory: /home/administrator
  GECOS field: administrator administrator
  Login shell: /bin/bash
  Kerberos principal: administrator at EXAMPLE.COM
  UID: 721000062
  GID: 132
  Keytab: False
  Password: False
