It should depend on the order the users are in the passwd file.

Code:
# head -2 /etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
postgres:x:0:4003:Postgres owner:/home/postgres:/bin/bash
 
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk)
 
(change order in passwd file...)
 
# head -2 /etc/passwd
postgres:x:0:4003:Postgres owner:/home/postgres:/bin/bash
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
 
# su -
# id
uid=0(postgres) gid=4003(postgres) groups=4003(postgres)
