Hello world,
I have RHEL5.2 AS box with NAS R3 attached, and I have the following questions:

1. My case is using NIS/LDAP is undesirable.
Can I synchronize UIDs between box and NAS without NIS/LDAP?
For instance, given a set of username/UID couples on my box, I could just upload correspondent mappings file onto NAS. Is this 'manual' synchronization enough for NFS quotas to work?

2. If NIS/LDAP is obligatory, what exactly the procedure for switching NFS quotas is?
(External LDAP on RHEL box is preferable).


Thank you in advance!
