I just wanted to tell everyone thank you for helping
me out with this. The two main answers that I got that
both work are as follows:

John P. Speno:

Yes, at least in 5.0 by default it seems. In 4.0f it
looks like you
need to
have this in your /etc/sysconfigtab:

proc:
    enable_extended_uids = 1

This is probably in the docs, but I cheated by looking
at
/usr/sbin/adduser and figuring out UID_MAX.

I found that both of these methods work. Thanks again
to everyone who responded, I was able to get our DEC's
to talk to our Sun boxes.
