Choosing numerical userId
How do I assign a specific numerical userId to a new user I create? In CentOS-7, the GUI tool to create a new user does not offer me any option to choose the numerical userId. This is different from other Linux distributions I have used in the past. To do this, I am happy to use command line if necessary.
Re: Choosing numerical userId
The useradd command lets you specify the numeric uid - see man useradd for how.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
