Setting UIDs and GIDs for users and groups: is it possible?

[mrmarkuz (Markus Neuberger)]

@Arnaud

after understanding that I have to rename archive => archive.tar.xz ( ) of the configuration backup, I gave a try to this.

Did you use Firefox? I think it’s a bug, I could reproduce in Firefox, in Chromium it has the right name when downloading.

@Arnaud

I set a new IP for nsdc

Does the bridge br0 exist?
Just to be sure, the IP you set is not used and in the same network as the Nethserver?

@Arnaud

the details of “Active Directory local” show the old conf, except the IP, but no user/group is listed…The “old” mess seems to be copied, but not that what I wanted to keep

Sorry, it’s the supported procedure for migrating and usually works. Did you restart NSDC or reboot NethServer after restore?

EDIT:

Here are some links to set UID or GID manually:

It could work with ldbedit or ldbmodify but I never tested. For UID change: https://www.blackhole-networks.com/Cheatsheets/Samba4Map/ GID change should be possible too. https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2017-January/205714.html You may have to flush sssd and net cache to make it work: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2017-January/205716.html

EDIT2:

It should work to “copy” the ACLs:

hi all i have an update for you. It is tested and works. On the old server issue the command getfacl -R >> somefile.acl On nethserver after users/groups created setfacl --restore= somefile.acl Thank you all for the ideas.
