You have the user and group "rland" on one of the computer, but not on the other. The 1001 is a user number, and that machine has no user associated with that number. Look into NIS (I've never used it, but it's the thing you want) to keep both machines' /etc/group and /etc/passwd files the same (it's nice in that you get to change the password for a user only once, but both machines will use that new password). If you don't want to mess with that, then you have to "adduser rland" on the machine where that user doesn't exist. Any other users you add will have to be added to both machines (in the same order, numbers are assigned first-come, first-served) to keep this stuff in sync. I do this at home, because it's just me and my wife. -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
