1.
NFS user/group data only
The source of the user data can be a UNIX password file, such as /etc/passwd. When
using the Network Information Service (NIS), typing this command can create the file:
ypcat passwd > /tmp/x.pwd
The following is an extract from a file in the required format.
john:x:544:511:John Brown:/home/john:/bin/bash
keith:x:545:517:Keith Black:/home/keith:/bin/bash
miles:x:546:504:Miles Pink:/home/miles:/bin/bash
carla:x:548:504:Carla Blue:/home/carla:/bin/bash
2.
NFS-to-NT user/group mappings only
The entries in the file must be in this form:
UNIXuser="NT User", "NT Domain"
Where the NT domain is optional. The NFS user names cannot contain any spaces, and
the NT names must be enclosed in quotation marks. If the domain name is omitted, the
server domain is assumed. If the empty domain name is required, it must be specified
like this:
users="Everyone", ""
The Everyone user is the only common account with an empty domain name.
3.
Both NFS user/group data and NFS-to-NT user mappings
The entries in the file must be in this form:
UNIXuser:UNIXid="NT User", "NT Domain"
Where the same rules apply to the NFS and NT names as for the NFS-to-NT user
mapping file described above. The following is an extract from a file in the required
format.
john:544="john", "Domain1"
keith:545="keith", "Domain1"
miles:546="miles", "Domain1"
carla:548="carla", "Domain1"
