It would be interesting if the problem hadn't been known about for the last 20 or 30 years, i.e. since Unix systems started being networked in large numbers. This is exactly the reason Sun created NIS (formerly called Yellow Pages). Using NIS a set of machines can keep user ids and other info in sync. Nowadays LDAP is also used for this, as is Active Directory in the Windows world. Unfortunately for people with only a couple of machines on their home network, these are usually too much trouble to set up, so the only solution is manually to keep UIDs/GIDs consistent across machines. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
