Re: [Fedora-directory-users] upperlimit on uidNumber
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_80_6231.shtm
I think Solaris also supports 32-bit uids, not sure about other OSes.

I have personally loaded 10 million user accounts into FDS as a
performance test (on a measly 2.4Ghz P4 machine with 512MB of RAM),
and it worked just fine; not sure how many it could theoretically hold.
The linux kernel has officially had support for 32-bit uidnumbers
since kernel v2.4, so the maximum user id number is 4294967295, or
approximately 4.3 billion. This is the same on any distribution using
kernel 2.4 or newer. I am not sure about UNIX...
