IMHO lowering the reap period to 60 days is not going to help much. 
Maybe we should find out the number of people who are dormant for 2 
months and then log in during the third month. My guess is that it won't 
be a significantly large number.

If we hit the limit, then we have no option but to block the creation of 
new accounts. It will be nice if there is a provision for reserving an 
account so that whenever there is a vacancy, the person can be informed 
about it.

Is there any way to keep the BackTalk login database separate from 
/etc/passwd? Will we be able to give more new accounts through BackTalk 
in that case?
