Hi,
I am planning on setting up a mac os x server, but I want to understand something about file sharing first.
Lets say that I have two mac clients now, mac_a, mac_b, mac_c
mac_a has the following users
usr_1 uid=501 gid=501
usr_2 uid=1000 gid=1000
mac_b has the following users
usr_2 uid=1000 gid=1000
usr_3 uid=501 gid=501
mac_c has the follwing users
usr_3 uid=501 gid=501
usr_4 uid=502 gid=502
Now lets assume I have set up the server machine and want to add these users to the server.
The uid/gid on the server will not match the uid/gid on the client, so how will permissions be resolved when it is time to share folders.
Does the server map the incoming client user id to the server user id, changing the uid to the server uid ?
I am confused on how this would work. Can someone explain how this would work.
Thanks.
