Mapping Procedures - Compaq N2400 - TaskSmart - 1 GB RAM Administration Manual

4-12 Compaq TaskSmart N2400 Administration Guide
Requirement
The Server for NFS Authentication software must be installed on all
PDCs (Primary Domain Controllers) and BDCs (backup domain
controllers) that have Windows NT users mapped to UNIX users. See
the "Mapping Procedures" section later in this chapter for details.
Limitation
User name mapping is systemwide, as opposed to export by export. In
SFU, the location that the user is mapped to applies to all file systems.
Any changes to the default squashing user are also systemwide.

Mapping Procedures

The TaskSmart N2400 appliance stores the data in an NTFS file system. The
user name mapping server must translate the UNIX users into Windows users,
so that the appliance can determine user access rights to the data.
The administrator designates the source of mapping information for both CIFS
and NFS client users as follows:
UNIX: Local files or NIS
CIFS: Local or Windows NT domain
