out of curiousity, today I tried to add a user with a massive
uid, like this:
test:*:150000:1000::0:0:biguid:/:/bin/sh

then I get a message like this:
/etc/pw.h11310: 18 lines, 1114 characters.
vipw: rebuilding the database...
pwd_mkdb: 150000 > max uid value (65535)
vipw: done
fernando# su test
$ id
uid=150000(test) gid=1000 groups=1000

Seems like vipw doesn't like the vale, but builds it anyway.
Do we truely support massive UID's?
