Subject: 32-bit UID's Reply-To: jeffgus@zimage.com
It seems Linux currently supports 16-bit UID's. It looks like AIX and HP/UX support 32-bit UID's. What is the major thing holding back 32-bit UID's on Linux? Is it a kernel limit, a libc limit, or a filesystem limit? I thought I remembered seeing a message saying that glibc would eventually handle 32-bit UID's. Is this true?
