    Yes, we can add by the following command
    # useradd -ou <uid> <username>
    example # useradd -ou 1001 user1
    #useradd -ou 1001 user2
    (-o for non-unique and -u to give uid , as you know it)

    you could also manually edit /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group and if necessary /etc/gshadow..but kinda risky since permission is set based on UID instead of user names..
