It might be worth your while to figure out what system configuration file
actually got modified by that dialog.  Sometimes having multiple avenues to
the end result will wind up triggering a memory better than just one.

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.
