Well, the usmUserName object is limited to 32 printable characters. If you restrict yourself to alphanuneric lower case names, that would give you 36 possibilities for each character. Some quick calculations indicate there are something of the order of 6.5 * 10^49 possible such usernames. I suspect you might be more restricted by the memory available in your target box. You'll probably get around 3 usmUser structures per Kb memory, so 3,000 users will occupy around 1Mb. You can scale things up to larger configurations yourself. I can pretty much guarantee that the agent has never been tested with such large configurations, so you might find that a large number of USM users might impact performance. (Finding a given user from within a simple linked list is easy but not particularly efficient!)
