static user id´s are a _problem_ with nfs, not a help. that´s why this proposal is: if the user id is read via /etc/passwd (or whatever you use), it is possible to sync the user id´s in a nfs network environment. with compiled in user ids it is not possible (without recompiling). the only exception: root is always 0. compile this into your binary. andreas
