How about a bit of a compromise on it? Make pwd_mkdb just spew a warning like --- WARNING: UID(s) over XXXXX detected, may cause problems. --- by default, with a flag (-v?) to list the specific ones causing problems. Warning in manpages are, of course, always a Good Thing. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fulle...@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fulle...@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
