-Vanilla Linux reserved UIDs and GIDs
-====================================
+Reserved UIDs and GIDs
+======================
 
 Users and groups are created once needed at package installation. It's perfectly
 safe to reuse the same UID/GID for different packages (example www, mail).
 
-You may think of UID/GID just like a simple package dependency.
+Users and group that are private and only used by the software must be prepended
+by an underscore. Only groups that users can join can start without one.
 
 The following UID/GID are defined:
 
 | uid                 | gid                 | package(s)           |
 |---------------------|---------------------|----------------------|
-| sshd (100)          | sshd (100)          | network/openssh      |
+| _sshd (100)         | _sshd (100)         | network/openssh      |
 | polkitd (101)       | polkitd (101)       | security/polkit      |
 | pulse (102)         | pulse (102)         | audio/pulseaudio     |
 |                     | pulse-rt (103)      | audio/pulseaudio     |
