Nicely clears up some things for me... thanks. I've run across the talk of windows domains and there usage but never went that way since my `domain' is fake `in house' one. But I've wondered if a few times if I could go that route anyway, and if it would make home lan networking any handier. > About your other question: > > # idmap add ... > > defines an idmap rule which is stored in a private database used > by idmap service and it will be effective until it's explicitly > removed using "idmap remove" Haa... again a nice clear presentation and again has helped my understanding quite a lot. So apparently then it persists thru reboot eh? _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list cifs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
