>Description:
The default first uid used by adduser is over 10000, but we want to use above 1000, so we set uuid=1000 in adduser.conf like is said in the manpage. Adduser still wanted to create user with uuid greater than 10000, so i search and found that in adduser the uidstart variable override uuid in get_uid function even though uuid is set (and not uidstart).
>How-To-Repeat:
just adduser
>Fix:
It is not a fix, but if we set uidstart=1000 in adduser.conf adduser add a user with a uid greater than 1000 (and below 10000)
