means you don't have to assign <span class=SpellE>uid</span> and <span

since Netware will do this translation on the server side. However, since a NFS
export from Netware 6.5 doesn't support hard links, the export can't be used as
a home directory without special care. Also, be aware of the fact that trustees
won't work, so a shared directory where several people have read/write
permissions can't be used in a decent way. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
