I don't think it's related to number of users, but how much information
you include in the file for each user. We're still using the users file
as straight text, and it contains over 8000 users. We have only one word
for most users (just the username), and for about 30% of the entries, we
have 3 lines:
username Password = "UNIX"
Framed-Protocol = PPP,
Framed-MTU = 1500
