Neo4j Graph Platform

Hello All ,
I have used the community edition neo4j 5.9 RPM . Using this RPM , all the packages and required info
has been provided to the user. I have observed that the UID:745 is creating standardly on few Linux servers
and if the UID:745 is already existing means it will create UID:744. I'm not able to determine why the UID
is standardly creating as 745 in Linux .Also I have seen in the RPM file User:Neo4j is creating and group:Neo4j
is creating but not sure where 745 is mentioned in the RPM.

Note : I have use the RPM 5.9 community edition in the following link :

The rpm creates a neo4j user on installation if one doesn't already exist.
The specific command used to do this is:

useradd --system --user-group --home /var/lib/neo4j --shell /bin/bash neo4j

We don't specify anywhere that the user ID should be 745, that must be some policy on your server setup. You should ask your system administrator why useradd defaults to 745.
