I don't know RH so I don't know which uid/gid the users/groups have.
For Debian the user IDs normaly begin with 1000.
You could add new users in Debian with:
# adduser --uid $UID_FROM_RH $USER
without problems. You can take every UID that isn't in use by the system
already. (Didn't test it with uid lower than one hundred).
There's another limit at 100. AFAIK below 100 the system groups and
above groups from programs such as exim, spamassassin an so on.
Sorry, can't find the exact rule for that at the moment.
