Q: issues using 0-64K UID's?

Hi there -

We've got a recent initiative that is going to push our user base past 32K
per server, and are looking into solutions. Although we may go to
extended UIDs at some point, we're looking into quick solutions to get the
job done now. We are running AS1000's and 4000's, 4.0F, currently NOT
clustered, with typical login/mail/web applications. To that end:

Anyone had any issues with using unsigned int UIDs (0-64K) on Tru64 4.0F
(or laters)? Tests so far (*pwuid() calls, ssh, wrappers, sendmail,
imap/pop) have shown no issues, but I was hoping to tap into the wealth of
experience on this list.

Perhaps one more question: should we not bother with this, and go right to
extended UID's? Anyone done this (in non-clustered config) and care to
share experiences?


cheers and thanks,
