I generally do the same basic thing for permission levels, but a reverse of what you're attempting to do. The superuser (AKA root, administrator, God, whatever) has GID 0, just like on a *NIX system. This is because it's the highest level you can reach, and 0 is the lowest real number you can use. Thus, you can add a virtually-infinite number of lesser users, as opposed to being limited to 50, as in your case. -- </Dan> Daniel P.
