What values should s-c-users assume if these keys are absent from /etc/login.defs? 500 or 1000? 1000 would be probably better, that's the value shadow-utils (the "owner" of /etc/login.defs) uses. It doesn't really matter much AFAICS. system-config-users-1.2.108-1.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/system-config-users-1.2.108-1.fc16 system-config-users-1.2.108-1.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/system-config-users-1.2.108-1.fc15 system-config-users-1.2.108-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/system-config-users-1.2.108-1.fc14 Package system-config-users-1.2.108-1.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Various code in system-config-users assumes that non-system user and group IDs start at a hard-coded value 500. Please use [UG]ID_MIN from /etc/login.defs for this; we plan to change the boundary. See attachment 510191 [details] for the proper way to parse /etc/login.defs. Please let me know if you want me to prepare a complete patch.
