Hi folks,

I've come up empty-handed hunting for a constant that defines the
maximum UID supported by the system. I'm working on our passwd and
pwd_mkdb stuff and want to get rid of the artificial limitation of 65535
(USHRT_MAX) imposed in (at least) pwd_mkdb.

Have I missed a useful define, or should I add one? If I should add one,
does it go in pwd.h, types.h or syslimits.h?

Thanks,
Sheldon.
