Doesn't it have trouble with GIDs/UIDs in that it maps them all to one?
Not necessarily. It attempts to map them properly based on login id if both ends support this. If on the other hand you want the samba server to be taking care of permissions (so as not to put you back into the nfs limitations box) you have to tell the cifs client explicitly not to attempt to manage permissions. Since most people set up samba to manage permissions for windows machines, they are usually in good position to handle those same shares to linux machines. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
