    <para>
      Highest user ID number for which the lastlog entries should be
      updated. As higher user IDs are usually tracked by remote user
      identity and authentication services there is no need to create
      a huge sparse lastlog file for them.
    </para>
    <para>
      No <option>LASTLOG_UID_MAX</option> option present in the configuration
      means that there is no user ID limit for writing lastlog entries.

login.defs: Add LASTLOG_UID_MAX variable to limit lastlog to small uids. As the large uids are usually provided by remote user identity and authentication service, which also provide user login tracking, there is no need to create a huge sparse file for them on every local machine. fixup! login.defs: Add LASTLOG_UID_MAX variable to limit lastlog to small uids. 2018-11-28 19:27:16 +05:30			`<!--`
