It appears from the /etc/adduser script that the maximum uid Ultrix
can handle is 32000, and tests seem to prove that out.  Is there some
reason that the maximum uid is limited to 32000, when it could go as
high as 32767?  We have uids grouped by department, and we'd really
like to be able to be able to use uids between 32000 and 32767.  Does
Ultrix v4.0 have the same restriction?

Thanks
