Setting UID for an user


Recommended Posts

Hello!, 

 

Is there any caveat in changing the UID for an user (editing /etc/passwd + chown of its files)?, I need to make it match a UID on NFS client. Can that break something at the web administration layer or any convention (UID must be higher than ###) ?

 

Regards.
