Hmm, isn't this a separate bug in itself (unrelated to pwd_mkdb)? Ie, somewhere in the kernel there should be a check for "UID wrap" that generates an error if detected. At least on the server; on the client of course it would be too late. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
