OK, I figured out both. The uid is the user ID which is always 1000 for the current user
The gid is the users group ID and it is always 1000 for the default group the user is in. I was using the credentials with a pointer to a hidden text file. This file was very insecure. Good to be able to do it this way and have it now gone. As far as it not working under 7.10. The first reboot it won't work. But under subsequent reboots it does work. Certainly makes shutting down so much more pleasant. -- Shutdown and reboot troubles with a smbfs or cifs mounted Samba share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212019 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
