Sorry but I don't grok this.  During this discussion you were explaining
things to me which I obviously had to know.  If I'm explainig things to
you you already know, well, sorry about that.  Your attempt at creating
an artificial SID just to prove that a collision could be constructed
looked like you didn't understand how well-known Windows SIDs work and
are constructed, and that there's no way for a collision from a valid
Windows SID here.

If that's the case, then why do you explain all these things to me?  I'm
a bit at a loss to see the difference between me explaining things to
you you already know vs. you explaing things to me I already know.
Aren't we kind of on par here?

But, never mind.

Yes that's possible.  However, where would this erroneous SID come from?

The chances that a SID comes in which gets converted to uid/gid 0xfffffffe
is actually higher.  See UNIX_POSIX_OFFSET.

Thanks.  Do you want to add handling for this mapping to
pwdgrp::fetch_account_from_windows yourself or shall I do it?  I could
come up with a patch in the next couple of days.  I will prepare a
developer's snapshot then, so you can immediately test if it works as
desired.


Thanks again,
Corinna
