We don't recommend that people create users for every subuid. It's such a large range that it would be impractical. There might be a way to control which subuid is used by Podman, but by default it uses random ones, so you'd have to create entries for 65535 users.

Hi,

I have a test system running various rootless containers. Do people
create the namedspaced users in the host as well (with , say ,
/sbin/nologin) just so that when you use commands like "ps" you
immediately know who it is? For example: jorge-daemon, jorge-apache,
etc... The downside - I assume - is that once your start your containers
in another order..things will get messed up.

Thanks,
Jorge
