Hmm... Why wouldn't you rather want to use something like the sss_rpcidmapd plugin in the AD environment? Manual editing of the username sounds error prone, particularly if your domain is part of an AD forest. I'm not saying that this plugin couldn't be useful in other circumstances (please elaborate), just that the AD use case sounds a little iffy... -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer, Hammerspace trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
