My management is asking for specific Solaris facilities that may break
should we create accounts with uid's over 60,000. They are considering
creating accounts in the 60,000 to 70,000 range (which exceeds 16 bits). (I
know that 60,001 and 60,002 are reserved for nobody and noaccess and we will
avoid those.)
Most of the research I've done refers to pre-Solaris 2.6 and is vague on
2.6, 2.7, and 8.
We do not use NIS at this time, but I do not want to preclude using it. We
do use NFS and have disk quotas enabled. Our backups are done with
Syncsort's Backup Express.
So my question is, what specific commands or facilities could be a problem
if we do this in Solaris 2.6, 2.7 and 8? Eg. tar, cpio, dd, find, cp, mv,
finger, quota, etc.
Thank you very much. I will summarize.
