Description
I'm trying AADLoginForLinux now.
But the assigned UID/GID for the Entra ID user is `3197663`, it is very large.
The following screenshot is a result of `id` command after logging in as Entra ID user.
This large number causes failure of `chown`/`chgrp` command for this user because the IDs is larger than `65535`.
Is there any way to assgin UID/GID, that is smaller than 65535, for Entra ID user by default?

Research direction
No file or test is named; start by locating the AADLoginForLinux code that assigns the Entra ID user's UID/GID and reproduce the reported `id` output. Done means the default IDs are below 65535 and `chown`/`chgrp` succeed for the logged-in user.
