Excellent.

Another question I should have asked in my original mail is this: are
there magical reasons why we should want pwd_mkdb to bleat for every
encountered UID greater that 65535 ?

Can you think of anything other than hysterical raisins why I shouldn't
bump that artificial limit to the new MAX_UID when that arrives?

Thanks,
Sheldon.
