I think that you will a number of these 'defaults' can be adjusted by
editing:
/etc/default/useradd
/etc/login.defs

Hey, I learned something today.
In /etc/login.defs,
#
# Min/max values for automatic uid selection in useradd
#
UID_MIN 500
UID_MAX 60000
#
# Min/max values for automatic gid selection in groupadd
#
GID_MIN 500
GID_MAX 60000
may solve the whole mess.
It may be a nice idea to change these defaults to prevent this
headache in the future. I will play with this at home and then submit
an enhancement request if it works as I would like.
Thank you for the info.
Robin
