>Description:
pwd_mkdb generates the following error upon reaching uid of 65535. Will increasing "maxusers" resolve this?

pwd_mkdb: 128025 > max uid value (65535)
pwd_mkdb: 128026 > max uid value (65535)
pwd_mkdb: 128027 > max uid value (65535)
pwd_mkdb: 128028 > max uid value (65535)
pwd_mkdb: 128029 > max uid value (65535)
pwd_mkdb: 128030 > max uid value (65535)
>How-To-Repeat:
Generate /etc/passwd with more than 65535 users and run "pwd_mkdb -C /etc/passwd" or "pwd_mkdb passwd"
>Fix:
?
