using id() to generate a 32-bit integer fails in 64-bit environment about impacket HOT 5 CLOSED

Wow.. nice catch Bryan.. Can you send me an output of the error you receive?

caught exception: ("'L' format requires 0 <= number <= 4294967295", "When 
packing field 'pNetName | <L | 4410144592' in 
impacket.dcerpc.srvsvc.SRVSVCShareInfo1")

here's a random test in my environment:

In [1]: x = id('test')

In [2]: x
Out[2]: 4341761680

In [3]: x > 2**32
Out[3]: True

In [4]: x - 2**32
Out[4]: 46794384

In [5]: import struct

In [6]: struct.pack('>L', x)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great...

Yep.. your fix indeed solves the problem.. but only if the definition of the 
structure field is '<L' (otherwise the mask should be changed).. stick to that 
fix.. and let me review the other parts of the library when id() is used and 
see if I can come up with something more general, that can check the 
structure's definition as well.

We had a similar issue in the past in structure (it uses id() for some stuff 
too..)...

graciass!

Okey.. 

There weren't many other instances of the same problem.. (just a few in 
svcctl). Fixed in http://code.google.com/p/impacket/source/detail?r=715

Let me know if it works...

thanks bryan!
