Hey all.

I have a DS214 with DSM 6 (updated). My Laptops have Linux Mint 17.3.

I will very much like to have simular file permissions on the Synology NAS DS214, as I have on my laptops in a NFS share.
That is my username as owner of the dir's and files, and groups name are users.
I have two shares that I use, and my fstab is like this:

192.168.0.#:/volume1/Data /home/myusername/NASdata nfs users,rw,auto 0 0
192.168.0.#:/volume1/Foto /home/myusername/NASfoto nfs users,rw,auto 0 0

"myusername" should also be the owner of the dir's and files on the NAS.

I have followed a lot of what I could find on the net, but cannot find anything that helps about this.

How to get 100% identical permissions rights on the NAS as on the local Laptop(s)?

Regards

NFS goes by UID, not username. I keep all UID's synchronized on LAN for this purpose.

I have changed settings on the Synology. As I have read elsewhere it is a "dirty" hack, but it works here for for me.
Not possible in a company because of lack of security...

But please show how an example of synchronizing of UID's on a LAN.

Thanks.

Well, I create new users with same UID in every box. That does it. It is possible to change UID's after the user has been created. On larger networks I'd use NIS.

Thanks. Now I have some work to do
