Hi there,
I'm attempting to migrate an old BSDI system to FreeBSD. The system in
question has about 71k users, with UIDs from about 2000 up to about 7.
When I import the master.passwd file (formats are the same) to the new
system and try to rebuild the .db files, it fails with a pwd_mkdb:
I can only suggest a workaround, which would be to consider a different
user management system, say LDAP. You're still going to have the issue of
some apps not liking high numbered uid's, but it bypasses the pwd_mkdb
issue. Not to mention once you have it in place managing users and
Did you set the PW_SCAN_BIG_IDS as documented in the man page for
pwd_mkdb?

Hi

Good luck!
