Hi in the brave new world of latops, NT domains, exhange et al - where we are GIVEN usernames, can we map this new USERNAME to an existing but DIFFERENT account name and password on Digital UNIX V4.0b running Pathworks 6.1 advanced server? I am told that you can map the Microsoft Networking username of (say) KERRISONG to KERRISON_G on a VMS system for example... What I don't want to do is change DOMAINs on the laptop but access my UNIX system as a "mapped network drive". apologies if this is answered elsewhere but I couldn't spot it! thanx Gary [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

Assume: Logon name on the new exchange system is GARY_NEW You want to access your data on the OSF box in /usr/users/GARY_OLD Do this: Add a new Lan Manager user GARY_NEW with net user command: [net user GARY_NEW the_password /ADD] Create a share pointing to the data area [net share GARY_NEW=C:/usr/users/GARY_OLD] Set the access so that you have permissions to access the data [net access c:/usr/users/GARY_OLD /grant GARY_NEW:RWCDXAP Is this what you want ? regards Alan | |||||

I solved it this way: Add a new Lan Manager user GARY_NEW with net user command: [net user GARY_NEW the_password /ADD] -> This will also add 'gary_new' as a UNIX User in /etc/passwd. Edit it's passwd entry to point to the home directory of 'gary_old' Map the new Lan Manager User to the old UNIX user: /usr/var/net/servers/lanman/bin/mapuser GARY_NEW GARY_OLD Set the access so that you have permissions to access the data [net access c:/usr/users/GARY_OLD /grant GARY_NEW:RWCDXAP This way you don't have to create the personal shares since they are already there per default. You don't see them via 'net share' but they point to the homedir path as described in /etc/passwd. Regards, Arnold P.S.: Next thing will be to add an NT trusted domain ... | |||||
