Looks familiar to me too.
If you're using a netatalk 1.5 prerelease and you have either ADMIN_GRP or
DROPKLUDGE turned on, I think that's my bailiwick and I need to know what
platform and flavor you two using to fix it (e.g. Red Hat Linux 7, FreeBSD,
Debian Linux 2.2, etc.). That's an awfully large uid, though... 16 million
user names is a lot. Is it possible that the number is too big and we've
run into a limitation of chown?
To be honest, my priorities are actually elsewhere at the moment. That's
the trouble with being a student employee with no one to take my place when
I graduate; everything has to get done ASAP and left in good order and I
only have two or maybe three weeks left. Since this looks like it could be
a mission-critical thing for my group as well, I'm willing to bump it up to
the top of my list if no one else is willing to work on
it. (translation: will someone *please* investigate so that I don't have to?)
