  The System Administrator's Guide states that a user ID number must
be between 0 and 60,000; is this for real? Most systems  have a
maximum of 2^16-1 = 65535 which is understandable. If 60,000
is for real it will cause some serious grief to our computing
services division which is trying to establish uniform user
IDs for all our systems.
