Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: SteveB (steeeeeveee) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: allow DSPAM to have more users Initial Comment: Currently DSPAM uses signed integer for maintaining UID's of users. This limits DSPAM to +/- 32K users. It would be better to change that to a higher number. Even using unsigned integer would be better but I would prefer if we could push that to unsigned long or even higher. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Stevan Bajic (sbajic) Date: 2009-05-24 21:35 Message: On my Gentoo box with kernel 2.6.29.4 the type of uid/gid is "unsigned int". So the limit is way above 32K. But the database schema for the various backends use a lower type for uid: MySQL: smallint (-32768 to +32767) PostgreSQL: smallint (-32768 to +32767) SQLite: does not have the uid (if I see that right in the code) hash: does not have the uid (if I see that right in the code) So the problem for the limitation is: 1) Database schema for MySQL and PostgreSQL (can be easy fixed) 2) The code inside DSPAM should be extended to use unsigned 32 bit integers (needs some time) The question I have: - What is the limitation of uid on other platforms? (Mac OS X, BSD, Solaris, etc) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1126468&aid=2527337&group_id=250683 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
