            Bug ID: 232363
           Summary: usr.sbin/adduser: warn if UID already taken (entered
                    value is start of range)
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: andreas.sommer87 at googlemail.com

Interactive mode asks "Uid (Leave empty for default): ". Entering 1001 on a
pre-installed system (such as Raspberry Pi images with `freebsd` user) will
create the new user as 1002 without any hint. The manpage makes it clear with
`-u uid_start`, but interactive mode should denote this behavior (or ask again
on clash?).
