Re: Access from multiple hosts where users have different uid/gid

[Jim Kinney <jim.kinney@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ouch!

I use a unified UID/GID process. I personally use FreeIPA. It can also be done with just LDAP or (not recommended for security reasons) NIS+

Baring those, a well-disciplined manual process will work by copying passwd, group, shadow and gshadow files around to all systems. Create new users on a specific machine and then use a home-brewed script to push/sync the files to all other machines.

I have a setup with multiple hosts, each of them are administered separately. So there are no unified uid/gid for the users.

When mounting a GlusterFS volume, a file owned by user1 on host1 might become owned by user2 on host2.

I was looking into POSIX ACL or bindfs, but that won't help me much.

What did other people do with this kind of problem?
