4585.0. "UID limit for Digital Unix" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Mark Ramsay) Sun Mar 30 1997 23:02

Is there a UID limitation for Digital Unix 4.X.

A customer of mine has been experimenting with large UID's and
has stated Digital Unix is unable to handle them.  

Any comments?

	You net to ask this is the Unix (OSF) Notes conference.  I believe
  that the answer is yes, it can handle large UID's, but you need to check
  there.

4585.2It's 64K today, 2 gig in 4.0dGYRO::faux.zko.dec.com::skinnerInternet Business GroupFri Apr 04 1997 14:1612
On Digital Unix 4.0b it's 64k. It's supposed to change in 4.0d
(maybe November) to 2 gig uid's. I believe Darrell Dunnuck
is the engineer in charge. You may want to contact him if your
customer is willing to field test.

What is your customer doing? If they are using the UID's for pop3
mail, we found that as long as the user didn't have a shell
account, you can use the same UID over and over.

Hope this helps,
