Consistent UIDs may solve file transfer issues
Authored by: patchets on Oct 26, '05 07:26:42AM

I can attest to this being an issue. I ran a network at a small video editing office and I had problems setting up an automated backup of all the computers at night. When one of the machines was using a 502 UID there would always be problems getting the files to sync correctly.

It seems to me that if you've got two machines and the same user name on both that when transfering files the UID for the file should change to match the new machine. But, perahps thats a little too complicated for UNIX.
