User And Group Mappings lets you create maps between Windows and UNIX user and
group accounts even though the user and group names in both environments may not be
identical. Perhaps most important, User and Group Mappings lets you maintain a single
mapping database for the entire enterprise.
You can use simple maps, which map Windows and UNIX accounts with identical names.
You can also create advanced maps to associate Windows and UNIX accounts with
different names, which you can use in conjunction with simple maps. Furthermore, with
User and Group Mappings, you can obtain UNIX user, password, and group
information from one or more network information protocol (NIS) servers, or from
imported password and group files.
