Hi, >Is there any maximum no. which can be used as the uid of users on a linux >(kernel 2.2.x) OS installation.
well the maxmium..limit is : 65536 uids.. ..u got..16 bit ...for integer.. so 2^16 = 65536 This problem is with linux kernel...version 2.2.x...but number increaseing.. with linux 2.4.. > if there is what can I do to create a few lakh users for the purpose of providing free webmail to the users. you have to use some database for authentication. well i prefer mysql, which takes lots of load like. 3 lakhs / 4hrs (ONLY SELECT Statment). But it depends on pop server which supports authentication.
