I have a file server that I mount a /pub directory all the
time from my laptop and occationally from one or more test
machines. This is also shared via samba with several
windows98 and NT machines. I have been pulling my hair out
wondering how the ownership was being changed on several
files and directories so I started to RTFnfsM. What I have
been able to asertain is that the user id number from the
remote machine (not the name) is used in file operations.
It looks like I can do a squash/no_squash deal and map
everyone to a nobody id but that is not what I would like
either. Is there a way to do a mapping on username rather
than the number so I can keep the ownership as the user and
not have to fiddle with the passwd file to keep the numbers
the same? I only have a few users now and it is not an
emormous issue but it could be soon if we hire a bunch more
people like we plan on doing.
Looking for enlightenment.
