Subject: [gentoo-user] nfs sharing: same user name, but different user id.

1 I am trying to export nfs shares from the linux box to a mac and vice-versa.
2 The trouble is that. although there are users on each box with the same name,
3 they have different numeric user IDs. For instance user robert on the linux
4 box has userid 1000 but on the mac robert has userid 502. This means that
5 users on one machine can't write to their home directories on the other
6 machine.
7
8 Is there any facility within nfs to map users to other userids (beyond that
9 needed for root-squashing)?
10
11 Or failing that, is there a way to change the user ids on one of the machines
12 without making a big mess?
13
14 Many thanks
15 Robert
