Re: practical limit on the number of UIDs

Sounds like a job better suited for a DB backed authentication system such as LDAP. This is just off the top of my head, but for some reason I wouldn't want /etc/passwd and its relatives 1 million lines long. Like I said, no deep reasoning here, just intuition. On Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 11:20 AM,

Re: practical limit on the number of UIDs

Also, there is another issue: 1 million users could be a lot to lose, and a few files aren't as resilient as a DB, which gives you things like replication and redundancy. Since you stated that only a few users will connect at a time, then sure, performance isn't an issue. Maintainability, like S
