I guess I've been blissfully ignorant and always assumed that id's under 
500 were reserved for system use since Redhat systems have always 
created the first user uid as 500.  Other admins I've worked with have 
been similarly misinformed, so you might get lucky here.

I wonder if a check for uid's between 100 and 500 could be added to smolt.
