I (naively) think it would > solve most of your concerns. I don't think so. umap is for translating credentials between domains. I think what Fred wants to do is different, and that is to ignore the credentials on the system. Fred, right now what happens in MacOS when I take a disk which has sharing credentials set up, and hook it into another machine? How are the credentials handled there? Also, one of the problems which has been brought up in the thread is that umap needs to know what credentials to translate to. For that, we'd need to stash the credentails on the drive.
