Bug#765499: Policy still thinks UIDs are 32-bit

2014-10-15 Thread Ben Harris
um this section should be updated to (a) explicitly reserve the range from 65536 to 4294967294 inclusive for end-users, (b) reserve 4294967295 as the 32-bit (uid_t)(-1), and (c) note that 65535 is still reserved for compatibility with systems with 16-bit UIDs. -- Ben Harris, Universi

Bug#53700: bogosity in editor/pager discussion

1999-12-29 Thread Ben Harris
