lslogins: Fix discrepancies of SYS_UID_MIN
util-linux does not contain useradd. Its most popular implementation comes from shadow. SYS_UID_MIN is one of common parameters. Its hardcoded fallback value is equal to 101 in shadow useradd (see shadow-4.6/libmisc/find_new_uid.c: get_ranges()), but 201 in login-utils/lslogins.c. Let lslogins use the same fallback as useradd from shadow. Hopefully most distros define its custom value of SYS_UID_MIN in /etc/login.defs, so this problem is not visible. login-utils/lslogins.1 does not mention its default at all. Add a reference and improve text of lslogins(1) to prevent off-by-one interpretation. Signed-off-by: Stanislav Brabec <sbrabec@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
