Hello,

I'm doing some work on a pre-installed 2.6 platform....I am trying to add serveral users, which I am doing without specifying a uid this should then grab the next uid available and assign it to that user....However when I create any user in this manner it tries to assign it UID 100 so you create the first one this gets 100 then the next user errors with this:

UX: useradd: ERROR: uid 100 is already in use. Choose another.

if you specify a uid it works fine....any suggestions?
