> For example, if the following lines occur in the /etc/passwd file:
>=20
> 		user0:x:1000:10::/var/tmp:/bin/sh
> 		user1:x:1001:10::/var/tmp:/bin/sh
> 		user2:x:1002:10::/var/tmp:/bin/sh
> 		user3:x:1003:10::/var/tmp:/bin/sh
> 		user4:x:1003:10::/var/tmp:/bin/sh
> 		user5:x:1003:10::/var/tmp:/bin/sh
> 		user6:x:1004:10::/var/tmp:/bin/sh
> 		user7:x:1005:10::/var/tmp:/bin/sh

> Then 'admintool', instead of choosing 1006 for the next available =
user id,
