Yes... Why is this a FreeBSD problem then? I would have thought it would be up
to MacOS to do the UID remapping (I must be missing something)
The question is being sent to several different BSD groups. One of
the newer BSD's being MacOS X (Ten) from Apple (follow on to NeXTSTEP,
except that it's a much more MacOS-ish as far as the user interface).
MacOS X (Ten) Server already uses code from FreeBSD, NetBSD, and
OpenBSD. This isn't a freebsd problem per se, but wouldn't it be
nice if Apple went with a solution that made sense to the other
BSD groups? (particularly if someone in *BSD-land has already
thought about the same issues).
Some of Apple's OS-level changes have been donated back to the BSD
groups, and if they implement a good solution to this problem then
the other BSD's might want to pick it up. It's nice to see them
asking for ideas before casting some implementation in stone...
