It has no non-admin shell access. It does however, due to the mail accounts, have around 1200 user directories/accounts on it. This is with only 400+ domains going to it. My question is this: Barring disk space limitations (36GB will probably handle quite a few more accounts), is there any details I'll need to look at in having that many users on the machine? I mean, is there a limit to the # of users on a machine in it's default state? Do we need to do anything to prepare for 5000 user accounts?
