Re: Need some advice regarding portable user IDs

  I think Mac OS 8 will forget about the credentials.  I don't  
actually know much about how sharing works.

  But the current file sharing behaviour is not entirely useful to  
think about, because it doesn't effect the local permissions (much),  
and the local permission are what I'm worried about.  Exported  
filesystems are another story, and I don't want to compilcate things  
too much by worrying about that right now.
