FYI, we had the same problem here when using PCNFS without a user
being logged in (PCNFS then writes files as nobody which incorrectly
has uid -2 which turns out to be 2^32 - 1 in FreeBSD). The corresponding
PR is PR# 2325, so you see that the problem is really old :-).
Since then I use a (really ugly) patch which maps all uid's which
are bigger than 65535 to our nobody:

Yes, this is ugly but has worked very well all the time.
