PROBLEM

    Lord  Evil  found  following.   It's  nothing  new as this problem
    appeared  in  deep  past,  but  the  surprise  is to see it again.
    This was tested with the  shadow-19990307 package.  If a  new user
    is created with  UID 65536, he  will become root  upon login.   No
    root  login  will  be  logged,  and  even  if  the  tty  isn't  in
    /etc/securetty he will be allowed in.

SOLUTION

    Nothing yet.
