Very Computer

After setting up VisonFS 3.0 on OS5.05 and selecting Vision password
database as the authentication method, and importing the unix user-ids(also
using the unix user-ids as their initial Vision passwords), I was unable to
use root(default) to sign on as the Vision administrator.

I selected myself as the VFS admin, and using my unix-id/password, I logged
onto to windows and was able to connect to the profile editor.
But when I map any window user to their different unix user-id, the password
authentication fails when trying to connect to the server in network
neighborhood.  I did the mapping in profile editor and even tried different
changing passwords.

Does anyone else have problems with mapping users?  Also the is a nt server
in the picture.

Check out the text file /usr/vision/vfsprofile/mapfile. It should be of
the form

windows_name:unix_name::::

Then run /usr/vision/bin/visionfs password --list

It should list users with VisionFS passwords by their WINDOWS name. If
it lists by UNIX name then this justifies your authentication failure.
To alter an entry or add a new entry use the ./visionfs password command
again.

If Windows and UNIX names are identical this isn't the problem. The
above description should only affect users with mappings, a common one
being administrator:root.
