the return value was 0. In the rule list, the value of uid was also
negative. Negative uid does not exist and the negative user can't be
added. So, I think uids can't be set to negative.
There really is uid -1 and uid -2. We run into this problem with faillog all
the time. I think they are nobody and nfsnobody respectively. They used by
NFS.
