YP passwd map capacity

I just noticed 5 new 4/60s in a general lab here, so I logged into one
with my student account.  Check this out:

koh-sun5:18:~  ypcat passwd | wc -l
   10320

Over 10,000 passwd entries.  Sun accounts come with engineering class
registration, so probably less than 20% ever get used, but that's
interesting nevertheless.  There are between 100 and 200 clients, mostly
3/50s installed about two years ago, and the file/mail/print servers are:

usc.edu         IN      HINFO   Sun-4/280 Unix_SunOS-4.0.3      ; 86400
chaph.usc.edu   IN      HINFO   Sun-4/390 Unix_SunOS-4.0.3      ; 86400
aludra.usc.edu  IN      HINFO   Sun-4/280 Unix_SunOS-4.0.3      ; 86400
girtab.usc.edu  IN      HINFO   Sun-4/280 Unix_SunOS-4.0.3      ; 86400
alcor.usc.edu   IN      HINFO   Sun-3/280 Unix_SunOS-4.0.3      ; 86400
castor.usc.edu  IN      HINFO   Sun-3/280 Unix_SunOS-4.0.3      ; 86400
nunki.usc.edu   IN      HINFO   Sun-3/280 Unix_SunOS-4.0.3      ; 86400
pollux.usc.edu  IN      HINFO   Sun-3/280 Unix_SunOS-4.0.3      ; 86400

Anyone seen larger YP passwd maps?

Our host map has 7608 entries.  (Client Suns currently use YP for host
lookup without any DNS interface.)

Happy Holidays,
Gary
