Bleh, I didn't finish my message. :-( I recently added to pwd_mkdb(8) in CURRENT, an option (-q) to suppress warnings about large IDs. The interesting revisions are: rev 1.11 pw_scan.c rev 1.2 pw_scan.h rev 1.13 pwd_mkdb.8 rev 1.33 pwd_mkdb.c I'm not sure whether this will be merged to the STABLE branch. I certainly can't see any reason why it shouldn't be. Just remember, should you choose to use this option, that it doesn't resolve the issues surrounding large IDs; it just allows you to silence the warnings if you don't care about the issues. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
