As I wrote in another posting: I do not expect that UIDs are exceeding the 500-1000 range in the next years.

No; there *are* existing systems which have already (system) users in the 100-300 range. Mentioned tool is something written by the same administrator(group) who defined the window for the service users. Enrico
