uid

Hi,

What is the max value of a UID?

 

[SirDice]

I think FreeBSD uses a 32 bit UID.

Ok, so something like '4 294 967 295'. Do you know if nfsuserd supports UIDs above 65534?

Thanks you.

Looking at the man page for nfsuserd(8) it says, at the bottom, that it uses the standard library calls like getpwent(3). So I would guess it has the same UID limits.

Thank you. So my problem is Winbind. When I create a user in my Samba domain, the new user has a value of 3000002. I give him some directories and mount with NFS. On the NFS client, the new UID is 65534 (nobody). I think I will use old method and create a Unix user too.
