+    Fedora 16 changes the UID and GID allocation policy: user
+    accounts now start from value 1000 instead of the previous value
+    500. This policy is now globally set in
+    <filename>/etc/login.defs</filename> variables GID_MIN and
+    UID_MIN, refer to <filename>login.defs(5)</filename> for more
+    details. Upgrades from earlier Fedora releases will keep their
+    configuration, starting user accounts from 500.

+    user accounts from 500 (to connect the system to a network with

+    places <filename>/etc/login.defs</filename> on the file system
+    before package installation starts.
