In your case 2b
Authored by: gshenaut on Oct 26, '05 05:03:43PM
if I understand you, you have two machines A, B which share files via, say, NFS, and you have a different UID on each machine. First, you work from machine A, and create a file F on machine B using UID-A (the file is owned by UID-A). Then later on, you work from machine B and try to access F using UID-B, and fail. Is that what you meant ?

Yes, that is what I meant. Except that I have not tried it out yet. I would just like to know whether I will have problems when I try to do this.

If your experience is like mine, you will. We share files like that all the time, and went to constant uid/gid long ago in response to exactly that problem.
