Hello list,
I guess this is a FAQ, but I have not found any information that
helped me out... I'm running a NFSv3-server and clients with linux
kernel 2.6.X. I have the same user-names on both client and server,
but different user-ids. Is it possible to establish a mapping between
the client's and server's userids?
A link to an earlier discussion of this topic would be enough...
TIA
-Stefan-

There has never really been a standard set for mapping the numerical
userids and groupids. There have been several implementations which
provided such a mapping, but none ever went very far.
The usual suggestion is to set up Kerberos and use RPCSEC_GSS to
pass the authentication information.
Thanx...

Won't this slow down the NFS-performance? Or is the security overhead
for kerberos "ignorable"?
Thanks
