So, it's just a storage problem of the uid... In my memory, the unix datatype uid_t is a long ? no ? In the case I've mentioned yesterday, if an other user already has the id 43833 (which is probably the case), Is there a way to log, in the same time, him on his own account and me on mine ? I've seen that mkpasswod works with int, the value returns by NetUserGetInfo is a DWORD -> ok (-long would be better (platform-independent), but...-) mkpasswd use the entire information NT returns so : Why 32 bits have not been chosen for uid_t too ?
