Services for UNIX supports a limited syntax in the passwd file. In particular, it
seems to work best when the second field of each line—the password field—is
filled in with a random 13-character string. This need not have anything to do
with the user’s password, so a string such as
0123456789012 is acceptable.
Some UNIX systems use shadow passwords and fill in this field with a
meaningless token value such as
! or x , and you will need to change this.
11. When you finish adding users, click Apply .
12. In the left pane, click User Name Mapping .
13. In the right pane, select Personal Computer Network File System (PCNFS).
14. In the Password file path and name field, type
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\passwd
15. In the Group file path and name field, type
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\group
16. Next, delete all special users and groups, leaving just the actual users and
groups that will be used in accessing NFS resources. An example of a special
user is
root , usually, and UID numbers from 0 to 99 are generally reserved for
system accounts and should not be mapped.
17. Click Apply .
18. Click Maps .
On the Maps page, you can configure simple maps or advanced maps.
Configure simple maps if the Windows user name and UNIX user name is the
same for each UNIX user to be mapped, and the Windows group name and
UNIX group name is the same for each UNIX group to be mapped. Otherwise,
you should configure advanced maps.
19. To configure simple maps, select the Simple maps check box and continue
with Step 20.
To configure advanced maps, clear the Simple maps check box and continue
with Step 21.
20. Under Simple maps, select the Windows domain name from the drop-down
list, and then continue with Step 22 on page 47. (If your Windows users are
defined locally on the NAS Gateway 300, select the entry containing the
computer name of the NAS Gateway 300, preceded by two backslash
characters (“\\”). Otherwise, select the name of the Windows domain where the
users are defined from the list.)
21. Under Advanced maps, perform the following steps.
a. Define user mappings:
1) Click Show user maps .
2) Select the Windows domain name from the drop-down list. (If your
Windows users are defined locally on the NAS Gateway 300, select the
entry containing the computer name of the NAS Gateway 300,
preceded by two backslash characters (“\\”). Otherwise, select the
name of the Windows domain where the users are defined from the
list.)
3) Click Show Windows Users to display all of the Windows user names
in the Windows domain that you selected.
4) Click Show UNIX Users to display all of the UNIX user names in the
NIS domain that you selected.
5) Type a Windows user name, or select one from the list of Windows
user names.
6) Type a UNIX user name to be mapped to the Windows user name you
specified, or select one from the list of UNIX user names.
7) Click Add to add the mapping between the UNIX user name and
Windows user name to the list of maps.
