i386 Description:

pwd_mkdb generates the following error upon reaching uid of 65535. Will
increasing "maxusers" resolve this?

pwd_mkdb: 128025 > max uid value (65535) pwd_mkdb: 128026 > max uid value (65535) pwd_mkdb: 128027 > max uid value (65535) pwd_mkdb: 128028 > max uid value (65535) pwd_mkdb: 128029 > max uid value (65535) pwd_mkdb: 128030 > max uid value (65535)

How-To-Repeat: Generate /etc/passwd with more than 65535 users and run "pwd_mkdb -C
/etc/passwd" or "pwd_mkdb passwd" Fix:

?
