Ok, let's bite. Please name a couple that would be candiates for doing so. Looking at the package registry for fedora-useradd I don't see anything but perhaps twiki that would use shared networked folders (and I'm not even sure about twiki either). For example having clamav using a shared networked database for virus signatures is out of question. Or zaptel would never mount its device nodes from another machine. If there are *real* use cases for sharing data across machines the packager should request a fixed uid/gid. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
