4.4 UNIX/Linux Settings
NAS-3410 can export shares to UNIX/Linux client via NFS protocol. UNIX/Linux client then can
mount the shares and gain access to the content of the shares.
UNIX/Linux client uses UNIX user identification, typically consisting of User Identifier (UID) and
Group Identifier (GID), for access control. Non-NFS clients do not use UIDs and GIDs for
identification. Since NAS-3410 is intended for working in a heterogeneous network, files created
by non-NFS client could possess incorrect ownership information and generate inaccurate quota
information for UNIX/Linux clients due to the unmatched UID and GID. A mapping is needed to
maintain the correct identity of the user using multiple protocols to access NAS-3410, for example
Windows and UNIX/Linux clients. Windows based clients need to map the Windows user name to
UID/GID before forwarding a request to retain the correct ownership information for UNIX/Linux
clients.
By default, the NAS-3410 maps all non-NFS users, including local users and domain users, with
the same UID/GID as defined on this page. If the administrator wants to have different UID/GID for
different users, he should click the
Modify button to modify the user mapping to UID/GID.
UID: User ID. The numerical number assigned to a user in Unix/Linux permissions. NFS uses UID
to determine permissions on files and directories.
GID: Group ID. A part of POSIX permissions that determine groups of users. NFS files have a GID
assigned to them.
Permission: Three numbers are used for setting the file permission. Each of the three numbers
corresponds to the type of users- Owner, Members of a group and Everyone Else.
