I am guessing, but I think the OS simply uses the next free UID/GID
number, and increases the counter(s) when you do a newacct/newuser
(by default). I do not recall at the moment, if there is an additional
parameter (;UID= or ;GID=) that you can use in newacct,newuser,altacct
and altuser to chose an arbutrary uid/gid (if it is not used by another
account or user yet), but I think this should be possible.

I believe there are new listacct/listuser format options that show
the uid/gid.

Goetz.
