Though perhaps it's time to start thinking about how to solve this automatically. I personally feel that user ids should be local and that anything that's not local to a host (removable media, network file systems etc.) should use something else which then gets mapped to a local uid when necessary. I'm not sure what that something would be, though. Usernames, username@domain, mugshot accounts, user@uuid or whatever. For example, a USB drive with an ext3 file system could contain some database that maps uids for that file system to usernames. Then when you plug that into a machine, the uids are automatically remapped according to this database to match what the host actually uses. Btw, this isn't about improving security, it's just a way to make things work more smoothly. /abo -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
