+----[ Wilfredo Sanchez ]--------------------------------------------- | A group of us at Apple are trying to figure out how to handle | situations where a filesystem with "foreign" user ID's are present. | The basic problem is that the user experience using Unix semantics | are not really pleasant. I think some examples would help:
Why not simply translate unknown ids to the current user? I don't mean modifying the owners on disk. The real problem comes if a new user gets that unknown ID, but, you have this problem anyway where the user exists. I say "simply" as in concept, not as in work required :-) -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| P:+61 7 3870 0066 | Andrew The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | F:+61 7 3870 4477 | Milton ACN: 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 |72 Col .Sig PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |a...@theinternet.com.au|Specialist To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
