... or have the logs rotated, gzipped and then grabbed to a central
loghost via cron at periodic intervals. Even better if the logs are
stored in a mysql database, for sorting and searching through it easier.

LOST #123 -**< Sub : Limits for UID >**-
FYI, the number of UIDs a Linux system can take is fixed. This
is kernel dependent. Kernels before 2.4 used a 16 bit UID and
therefore a max of 65536 users. Kernel 2.4 uses 32 bit UID viz
upto 4 billion users. Which computer would have that many ?
