[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] FIx nss protocol to return proper size for ids

Initially, for some reason I decided to use 64 bit numbers to hold uid
and gid values. But no platform support 64 bit ids, only 32bit ones (and
some platform have support for some sort of UUIDs which are 128bit and
are not returned by the nss interface).

Change the protocol to not waste bits needlessly and use 32 bit IDs

Simo.
