[ubuntu-us-mi] Generic ID owns application files or individual ID

[gib at juno.com]

Well, so that was a big part of the question.  Does it matter if the files on the Linux system are owned by a specific ID?  If one developer leaves and some of the files are owned by that one ID then do you have a problem?

Can you give some more context or a use-case example?

If you are worrying about the uid on source code, you may want to
reevaluate how you are developing the application.  Usually, the
source files are managed by some kind of version control, e.g. cvs,
svn, git, bzr, etc.  So it doesn't matter what the uid is on the
files.
