From 5361ad3910c257bc327567be76fde532ed238e42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Weimer Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2024 14:38:17 +0200 Subject: login: Use unsigned 32-bit types for seconds-since-epoch These fields store timestamps when the system was running. No Linux systems existed before 1970, so these values are unused. Switching to unsigned types allows continued use of the existing struct layouts beyond the year 2038. The intent is to give distributions more time to switch to improved interfaces that also avoid locking/data corruption issues.
