>Description:
In section 8.2 Introduction is written:
The UID is a number from 0 to 65536 used to ...
The GID is a number from 0 to 65536 used to ...
By adding a line to passwd (using vipw):
test::65536:65536::0:0:test:/:/sbin/nologin
I get this as a response:
pwd_mkdb: 65536 > recommended max uid value (65535)
pwd_mkdb: 65536 > recommended max gid value (65535)
>How-To-Repeat:
See section 8.2 Introduction of the Handbook.
>Fix:
Change 65536 to 65535.
