Symptoms

When 'local' users are created on the NAS Appliance, they are created with UID numbers starting at 2000000000 and incremented for each local user added.

There is no capability to customize this.

Cause

The local users are created with these high UID's to avoid conflict with UIDs related to any Directory service.

These high UIDs are designed this way to prevent conflict with directory service UIDs.

Solution

The only workaround to this is to use a 'directory service'.

For example, with NFS, this would be NIS or LDAP (for CIFS/SMB, use Active Directory ?)
