nfsnobody uid number

why does nfsnobody have such a long uid/gid number in a fresh install?

# grep nfsnobody /etc/passwd
nfsnobody:x:4294967294:4294967294:Anonymous NFS
User:/var/lib/nfs:/sbin/nologin

this has caused problems on previous nfs4 installations. i usually have
to change it to 65534 to get things to work.

just wondering.
