I don't think it is a NIS problem or is it the NIS on Linux. We have hundreds of Solaris and HP boxes, and they don't have this problem. Our NIS master and slave our on a Solaris box running Solaris 8.

It's seems like you are right. The account closest to 65535 we have is 64428, and any higher, it will bomb with that error.
This means that all others account above that amount will not work.
Is there a way I can increase this number or does that mean the OS needs to be rebuild with unsigned long int in order to account for accounts above 65535.

Does anyone know what is the limitation of the UID in passwd for SuSE Linux 7.x
uid is unsigned int which gives the maximum 65535

Our passwd are on NIS.
Account lower than 200001 have no problems.
Do you mean 200000 works?
