I'd like to map user names on different hosts to the same ID when they're communicating using NFS. There's a program, ugidd.rpc, that handles that. The problem is that ugidd.rpc appears to be incompatible with the kernel-based version of NFS. Has anyone found a way to do what ugidd.rpc does with a kernel-based NFS server?

Another way could be to use NIS for authentication. That would keep UID's and GID's that same across all platforms (unix that is). -- Ken Schneider unix user since 1989 linux user since 1994 SuSE user since 1998 (5.2)
