Hi Grigory, Hi Jean-Philippe, Indeed, robinhood stores resolved user and group names in the DB.
There are pros and cons about that: Pros: - They are particularly adapted to implement policies based on user/group name matching (owner == "foo*", ...) - Names allows sites to get human readable per user/group customized reports with a single SQL request without any post-processing Cons: - numerical ids may optimize DB storage and processing - they are more adapted to specific configurations with particular uid mappings I know Cray developped a patch to store numerical ids in robinhood DB. I don't know what is the current status of this patch (if it applies to current robinhood version), but it may interest you: https://github.com/fzago-cray/robinhood/commit/8c156dfb03af906eca27c9ab5245bf1d9546453a I nice solution in the future would be to make this a parameter in robinhood config to give the choice of the storage format of uids/gids in the DB.
