New Revision: 318262
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/318262

Log:
  Change the default uid/gid values for nobody/nogroup to 65534/65533.
  
  The default values found in /etc/passwd and /etc/group are 65534, 65533.
  In mountd.c, the defaults were -2, which was 65534 back when uid_t was 16bits.
  Without this patch, a file created by root on an NFS exported volume without
  the "-root=" export option will end up owned by uid 4**32 - 2.
  When discussed on freebsd-current@, it seemed that users preferred the
  values being changed to 65534/65533.
  I have not added code to acquire these values from the databases, since
  the mountd daemon might get "stuck" during startup waiting for a non-responsive
  password database server.
