Is there any maximum no. which can be used as the uid of users on a linux (kernel 2.2.x) OS installation. if there is what can I do to create a few lakh users for the purpose of providing free webmail to the users. I would like to use LDAP server for authentication and not /etc/passwd. ------------------------------------------------------ It isnt advisable to make too many users in the Linux system.Imagine the amount of time it would take if the /etc/passwd file contains more than a lakh users!! Better than that would be to use and LDAP server like OpenLDAP where you have no user limit.After all directory services main aim is ast lookup!! -- Harshal. ===== Harshal Vaidya. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
