I'm sure you meant 2^32-2 ;-).
The fix to use long doesn't seem right to me either. unsigned int is
a better match with uid_t and gid_t.

New submission from Sjoerd Mullender [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
On Fedora 8 and 10 using Python 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 (64 bit):
$ grep nfsnobody /etc/passwd
nfsnobody:x:4294967294:4294967294:Anonymous NFS
User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin
So the UID of nfsnobody is 4294967294 (-2 if viewed as signed 32-bit

This was already corrected by r61540, and will be released with 2.5.3
and 2.6.2.
BUT -- fchown() was not modified. patch is similar to r61540, but I
don't know how to test:

2^31-2 doesn't fit in long on 32 bits CPU. On my Linux box, uid_t is an
unsigned integer (32 bits unsigned integer). Why not using unsigned
int? chown prototype:
int chown(const char *path, uid_t owner, gid_t group);
