If you use all 24 letters upper *and* lowercase *and* 0-9, that is a base 58 number system which fits HUGE numbers in small strings. :-)
If samba deals with the numbers as if they were strings you could in theory do this by changeing the samba.schema definition of uidNumber and manageing the uids by script.

[ I'm not on this list, so please include me on the replies! ] Hi,I've discovered (at least for me and some colleagues;-) the following problem on Linux@x86 (2.4.*): When we try to mount FS's via smbfs with the option uid=<my_uid> this uid can only be 16bits wide:-( But we have uid's larger than 65536 which than end up beeing interpreted as %2^16 --> not allowing user-level access to the files. Is there any work in progress to fix that problem? I'm running Linux 2.4.20 and SuSE 8.1 installed samba 2.2.5 but I've also played with samba-2.2-cvs as of today. Thanks, -- Marco
