Hi, I would like to get some idea on managing users and ACL. How can we manage etc passwd and groups file on all clients and MDSs? Can we use NSS LDAP? Any suggestions or comments? Thanks, Shantanu Pavgi.

The Lustre l_getgroup upcall uses getpwuid() and getgrent() which both will use LDAP, NIS, or /etc/{passwd,groups}.

We have tried NIS as well as manually adding users on MDS with same UID & GID. they both work and former one is the best.
