@quixoticgeek @aral @ammdias @iaruffell No but you need to have a way of mapping your "enterprise" user ID space (from LDAP or AD or wherever) to a local user ID for every user that logs in. The smaller the local UID space is, the trickier this becomes. It's a bit like having to map every IPv6 address to an IPv4 address. I expect Linux will one day try to support 128 bit UIDs natively.
