Corneilson (MISD WA-Team) Unfortunatly we use Social-Security-Numbers so our employee numbers are rather large. But we did increase our ls to handle 30000 UID's and 3000 GID's (or in that range anyhow). We experienced little problem, although the number of users we have is small. We anticipate a rather large user base over a number of machines and wanted to keep all UID's unique. We are not sure how our change will work out in the long run.
