From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.1.3 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020205 Description of problem: In presence of extremely high UID's (like > 1000000) in the system lastlog fails with "File too big" because it's not using the 64bit interface to file operations. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. add user with an UID > 1000000, set password 2. login as that user from console 3. run 'lastlog' Actual Results: [pmatilai@godzilla SOURCES]$ lastlog /var/log/lastlog: File too large Expected Results: The usual lastlog-listing ... obviously :) Additional info: It should be made to use the 64bit file interface. Adding "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" to src/Makefile and recompile fixes this but I didn't look at how to get that done from the spec-file. In addition there's a very similar bug in 'sessreg' - see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42850 And BTW this problem is also present on RHL 7.1 % 7.2...
The necessary changes will be added to shadow-utils-20000902-7 and later. Thanks!
