Once again, the tried-and-true method of "give up, post to the list, find the answer" prevails.
Solution: YaST2 -> Security and Users -> Local Security Configuration / Custom Settings [click "next" a few more times"] eventually leads to a dialog that allows you to vary the range for maximum UID and GID values.
Moderately abashed,

I'm having one of those "I *know* that I've seen this somewhere, and recently" moments.
Simple question: What's the method to raise the upper bound on UID numbers in SuSE? I have a SLES9 system that I need to tweak in order to accommodate UIDs greater than 60,000. I've just seen this somewhere in the last two weeks, but can NOT find it now that I actually need it. Might be due to encroaching senility, or it might just be the late summer heat...
Many thanks,
-dan.
