Hi, Thats wrong, uid_t and gid_t are 32-bit unsigned integers on at least i386. ./sys/_types.h:typedef __uint32_t __uid_t; /* user id * ./sys/types.h:typedef __uid_t uid_t; /* user id */ ./sys/_types.h:typedef __uint32_t __gid_t; /* group id */ ./sys/types.h:typedef __gid_t gid_t; /* group id */ SUS only says that uid_t and gid_t must be "integer types", without referring to signedness or size. Hope that helps. -Brynet -Brynet
