I'm a little confused. Does this apply for users and groups were the
actual numbers don't matter ? In Dovecot the extra user is just used
as a seperate identity to partition login, authentication and active
users securely. Or do should all users and groups which are going to
be added by a port by listed in the Porters Handbook. The handbook
itself seems to suggest the former.
