On many servers I have the problem of /etc/passwd getting messed up.
The problem is that users get a owner ID which differs from the group ID.
This results in wrong quota counts, wrong bandwidth measuring, scripts not wanting to run, etc.
Anyone else experiences this and knows a solution and preferably also a prevention?
Are somewhere in a file the "last used owner/group numbers" stored which are used for a new account?
Because even when correcting /etc/passwd manually, when creating a new account after that it goes on with wrong numbers as it was doing before.
Please help.
