By records I don't mean the highest UID possible because I'm setting up a system that will have maybe as many as a million (or possibly more) unique user names, passwords and home directories but with the same UID. Please don't ask me why I need to know this :). Thanks -- Geoffrey Robinson geoffr@globalserve.net Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
