[cobalt-users] RaQ4i - inconsistent uids

[Uwe Langer <Langer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Im am using a RaQ4i as a backup and test server where I frequently install 
and delete sites. Recently, I realized that the uids in /etc/passwd differ 
from the uids for the user files. A comparison shows that they exactly 
differ by 65536 which is 2^16. Obviously, the cobalts use a counter which 
stores the last used uid to select the uids for new users. But while this 
counter is evaluated as 32 bits for passwd, for user files only the last 16 
bits are used. This is no problem as long as the uids are below 65536. But 
now I have uids > 70000.

Does anybody know where this counter is located so that I can reset it? 
Thanks for any help!
