[ale] Security best practice - Remove or disable user accounts?

[Jeff Lightner]

Yep - my last job before this one we had Dynix and I often thought it
must be modeled on Xenix given the number of UNIX commands it didn't
seem to have.  At least Xenix had the excuse that it was stripped down
to run on things like the 80286 CPU.  Dynix could hardly claim that.

lol... you'd think.  But no, my last W-2 included lots of work with
older variants of UNIX that had some of these insane limitations.  What
does POSIX require support for, anyway?  Isn't it still only 65K UIDs?
