You have a CentOS (for example) workstation that is a member of a Windows AD domain courtesy of modified smb.conf and krb5.conf files. There are, thus, no local user accounts on the linux workstation. There is a network application that benefits most (maybe even requires) the user's employee ID as their linux workstation uid. Thus, if I log in, my domain username might be scott12. My employee ID might be se123456. If I log into the linux workstation, I'm going to log in as scott12 along with providing my password. I type id at the shell, and am given something like 100001 (scott12) for the user. How can I manage to make the id [also] equal to se123456 for user scott12 without breaking anything? Or, if not possible, is there any other option other than to create a local account as se123456 and likely migrate the user's world to that new local account? I'd rather not. Thanks for any leads. Scott
