Ok, but as I see now on my system, user and group "ident" are still exists. Probably this have to be deleted also? BTW: it's strange but since ident is installed, I got a uid/gid mismatch for new users: nobody:x:99: users:x:100: ident:x:101: amavis:x:102: clamav:x:103: nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin ident:x:100:101::/home/ident:/sbin/nologin amavis:x:101:102:Amavis email scan user:/var/amavis:/bin/sh clamav:x:102:103:Clam Anti Virus Checker:/var/clamav:/sbin/nologin Looks like "adduser" should be more smart try first uid=gid for machine accounts and take very care using uid=100 automagically.
About ident, we don't delete users, but only add them. About guid/uid, in news release is /usr/sbin/adduser -u 98 which sort out this issue.
