** Description changed: - Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 - Release: 8.04 + Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1, Ubuntu 8.10 + Release: 8.04, 8.10 System > Administration > Users and Groups has problems with uids with apparently more than 16 bits: 1) Add e.g. a user "test" and set the uid to 99999. The uid will be silently replaced with 65535, and if you still press OK and check the properties of the newly added user's uid will be shown as 0. 2) For some reason the user won't be actually created, but a group is. No error messages are given. 3) If you create a similar uid from shell (e.g. adduser -uid 99999 test) and then check it with the GUI the uid is shown as 0. 4) If you try to delete the user created in (3) with "Users and Groups" it thinks it's an admin account and refuses to delete it.
