Hi,

running a DSSv6
Model: Data Storage Software V6
Version: 6.0up75.8101.5377 64bit
Release date: 2011-05-06

I would like to use it as main ldap system to then be able to share folder over nfs/cifs.

But with current linux, UIDs start over 1000 when DSS UIDs start at 100.
well, I thought like linux, if I create a user with UID=5001
then the following would be 5002 and so on.

well, it doesn't.

DSS keeps creating user with 107, then 108, 109 ... even if I have a user with uid 5001

Well, I just have a try on my linux, I have two different use :
useradd mynextuser => get uid 5002
while
adduser mynextuserbis => get uid 1001

might be some script to modify on DSS :
- either to use useradd then chpasswd
- or to modify adduser to check highest UIDs then do +1 on it.

Thanks.
