So I think the best solution to this problem, is to reserved uids and gids below 1000 for system use. I filled a bug report to hope that policy-kit can use uid and gid below 100 instead of 102. However, nobody notices it.. On Fri, Oct 3, 2008 at 7:45 PM, Lukáš Jirkovský <l.jirkovsky@gmail.com> wrote:
Yes, but the problem is that below 100 is not much uids/gids so it's possible that some day in future there will be some official group/user with the same id as you have used in your package.

I have a question about the uid and gid. Are there any reserved uids and gids for system use? In other distribution such as Ubuntu, the user's uid and gid begins from 1000. But in Arch, it seems begin from 100. Is that mean that the uids and gids below 100 are reserved for system use?

Thanks, I've changed my install according to your suggestion. I hope uid's 524, 525, 526 and gid 525 doesn't conflict with anything.
