Why is this a FreeBSD problem then? I would have thought it would be up | to MacOS to do the UID remapping (I must be missing something) I'm trying to support a user experience similar to Mac OS using BSD underneath (for Mac OS version 10). The goal being simplicity for the user, which I think might interest some FreeBSD users as well as my customers. | If you want proper username mapping shouldn't you be using a distributed user | map (like NIS)? And what happens accross NIS domains? -Fred -- Wilfredo Sanchez, wsanchez@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc., Core Operating Systems / BSD Technical Lead, Darwin Project 1 Infinite Loop, 302-4K, Cupertino, CA 95014 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
