Hi all, I've been working on setting up a NIS server to authenticate users of machines from a central server and also when they log in, they NFS mount their home directories on that same server. Everything is going pretty good.
My question is: How do I make sure the uids and gids are happy so that everyone gets the permissions they need (and don't need for that matter)? I mean, I make the user on the server using userdrake (Mandrake boxes BTW) and then run the script that adds them to the NIS database, and then they can log onto the client machines just dandy. I've read about no_root_squash and how that is bad. Are the uid's and gid's just something I need to keep an eye on so I don't make a local user and a NIS user the same uid / gid on a NIS client? Is there something I should make sure I put in /etc/exports or /etc/fstab? On each client, 128.187.200.251:/home is mounted to /home (I point local users elsewhere) On user set up, should I use 128.187.200.251:/home/username instead of /home/username?
