I know you can use larger uids and smaller gids -- we use 90000+ and -90000
at our site. The only problem is that your operating system my get confused
when it sees files owned by such large or small values (this isn't a problem
for Solaris, but it is a problem for SunOS, for example.)
I don't know what exactly the upper bound is, but I know you can safely go
above 100000, on Solaris 2.5 and later at least.
