How Many User Accounts Are Possible?
I am doing Mac support for a pre-school where they have five Macs, two of which are older iMacs which will only take OS X Panter installs.
We have 37 teachers, about 24-32 of whom will be using them for mail and on a more limited basis, for other things.
They'd like to keep their mail private and I assume other things as well, so my question is: is there a limit to the number of user accounts possible on a Panther machine? I'm guessing we'd eventually like to set up no more than 16 per machine if it's possible to do so without negatively impacting the performance of these iMac 333 computers. They are just barely fast enough to do email, web and word processing etc., so I don't want to slow them down in any way.
. . . and naturally, I won't be setting up fast user switching!
Any input would be appreciated.
