I don't want to move our home directories entirely onto the fileserver. Primarily we want to continue using the local machines as we always have. We just want to add the ability to easily store files on the network and have them accessible from any other machine.
I have had no problems creating exports on the file server, and I've had no problems mounting those exports from the client machines. The problems thusfar have been uid mismatches. I could probably change uids everywhere so they all match on all machines, but this seems 1. klunky and 2. really insecure.
I think there are ways to solve this kind of problem with Kerberos or LDAP, but those are technologies I know very little about. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. How would you solve this problem? I'm happy to research and learn what I need to learn, but I find I'm having a hard time even getting started.
thanks, alex
