The conversion to Python2.3 will make the initial problem go away because of better longint handling in Python 2.3 From http://www.python.org/2.3/highlights.html: int() - this can now return a long when converting a string with many digits, rather than raising OverflowError. However, this causes another traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/devel/bfox/fedora/system-config-users/src/userWindow.py", line 257, in on_userWin_ok_button_clicked uid = self.parent.ADMIN.lookupUserById(uidNumber) OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int I'm guessing that this traceback is a problem in the libuser Python bindings. Changing component to libuser to see if Nalin knows more. libuser-0.53-1, which will appear in rawhide soon, handles >31-bit ID values correctly. This should allow system-config-users to handle them too. libuser-0.53-1, which will appear in rawhide soon, handles >31-bit ID values correctly.

Description of problem: App fails when a UID > 2147483648 is entered Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): All tested How reproducible: Run application, and enter UID > 2147483648 and save changes. Application will fail with python traceback. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start App 2. Enter UID > 2147483648 3. Create user Actual results: [root@localhost root]# redhat-config-users & [1] 67815 [root@ashurst root]# Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/redhat-config-users/userWindow.py", line 237, in on_userWin_ok_button_clicked uidNumber = int(self.uidSpinButton.get_value()) OverflowError: float too large to convert Expected results: User should be created with UID specified Additional info: Problem is with the size of an int. 2147483648 is 2**31, a Python int can only hold up to 2**31-1. For anything from 2**31 through 2**63-1, it needs to be a long int.
