           Summary: Login Manager doesn't allow UIDs above 999999
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: chris.reiter at gmx.at


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

go to KDE systemsettings ->Login Manager ->Users
You can specify which users are shown, and which not: which are "system users"
and which not.
defaults are "below 1000" and "above 29999".
That's a problem, because 29999 is the maximum that this KDE systemsettings
module allows:
e.g. group-e (http://www.group-e.info), a Groupware Suite which we have running
here, creates users with UIDs beginning with 3000001.

See the problem?

I can't tell KDM to show all users from 3000000 to e.g. 3999999 - because this
module prevents this - So I can't use KDE for showing all these LDAP users in
KDM.
The highest possible group in Linux is 2147483647, so this should be an easy
fix.
