But what I understand the person want's to tell you is that you should have exactly same UID and GID on both the distros. Under Linux/Unix, usernames don't matter, what matters is UID. Say, on Fedora LL is having UID and GID = 501 simply delete the LL user on PCQLinux and re-create the same user with UID and GID 501. In this way the User on both machines having UID and GID = 501 will be able to access the directories. As said that privileges are granted based on UID's, say on your machine I create a user named rrs with UID = 501 on your Fedora Installation whereas you already have user LL = 500 on the PCQ Installation. In this case user rrs will be able to access user LL's home directory of PCQ Linux Installation. I hope this is what the person means to state. rrs > :-) > LL > > > > -- ams > > > > _______________________________________________ > > ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > > Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi > > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ > > > > > _______________________________________________ > ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi > http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ > Ritesh Raj Sarraf Email: rrs [EMAIL PROTECTED] researchut.com Web: http://www.researchut.com Phone: +91-9899655651 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFAZ3cx4Rhi6gTxMLwRAoj/AKCRSHgvAxrSmbrTA98c/YUsYfAMEwCgokuK tZx+0A4mpJye5LZhNBTlUXE= =rOm7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
