+Subject: Avoid deleting the root user
+
+The check we have in place against deleting the root user can
+be tricked by exploiting the fact that we are checking a gint64,
+and then later cast it to a uid_t. This can be seen with the
+following test, which will delete your root account:
+
+qdbus --system org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts \
+     org.freedesktop.Accounts.DeleteUser -9223372036854775808 true
