[Pkg-shadow-devel] UID == (uid_t)-1

[Peter Vrabec]

thnx. Nicolas,

there is still one problem for strtol(). errno should be set to zero before 
calling strtol.

see:
man strtol
http://carolina.mff.cuni.cz/~trmac/blog/2005/strtol-usage-guide/

There is also a bug report in our bugzilla.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487575

Best Regards,
Peter.
