Try here: http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-adv/nis.htm For NFS you need the UIDs and GIDs of your regular user accounts to be the same on server and clients. NIS is one way of doing this. In fact it's the "standard" way of doing it because Sun developed NIS and NFS at around the same time. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
