From: John Polstra To: hackers@freebsd.org Subject: UIDs greater than 65535? Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Can anybody think of a reason why UIDs > 65535 wouldn't work under FreeBSD? They seem to work, and I can't find any reason why they shouldn't. Even the NFS protocol (though not necessarily all NFS servers) seems to be able to accomodate 4-byte UIDs.
