When installing F19 when adding a user at install time you're given the option to select "Advanced Options". One is to select the UID and GID manually. If you hit the + the number you're presented with is 501. I thought that starting with F18 (at least) the minimum UID/GID to users was to be 1000.
Has this been changed back to 500 or is this an oversight in the installer?

When I used a default DVD install, my user had UID 1000. So this really seems like a bug. Can you please report a bug in Bugzilla against anaconda about this?
Thanks!

Sounds like an oversight.

Thanks to you and Kamil.

Also, wouldn't it be preferable to have "firstboot" (if that is what it is called now) skip the user creation dialog if a user was created during the install?

Yes, that is the plan, but it's not implemented yet.
Firstboot is dead now, the new tools are called initial-setup and gnome-initial-setup (yes, there are two of them, it's another loads of fun we need to deal with).

And if 'gnome-initial-setup' is going to be the default it's going to be loads of fun for the user too. The bright lads who designed it only allow you to continue if you choose a password according to their specifications.
At least according to it's present setup (if the 'thing' that appears when booting after install is this 'gnome-initial-setup')

Its not 'our' specification. We are using libpwquality, which was written by the security team, and takes its criteria from /etc/login.defs.

In some situations a 'quality password' should be preferred (and maybe even obligatory) but if a home user wants to use a simple password it's her/his choice at her/his own risk and the 'login manager' should only "advice" not hinder.
