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.
The official releases ship with pre-built manpages.
The content of the man pages however is dependent on compile flags. So the
pre-built ones might not fit your version of shadow. To build them yourself use
--enable-man. Furthermore the following build requirements will be needed:
- xsltproc
- docbook 4
- docbook stylesheets
- xml2po
