>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.6-STABLE i386
>Environment:
2.2.6-STABLE
>Description:
Restore(8) uses a signed short as the type for uids in directories, which
hands negative values to chown() when the userid goes beyond 32767 (2^15 - 1)
The net effect is that directories end up with the wrong userid, making
restores on systems with lots of users problematic.
>How-To-Repeat:
restore a dump with userids > 32767
>Fix:
Merge revision 1.8 of src/sbin/restore/dirs.c from current.
