Cisco Small Business NSS2000 Series Administration Guide
To avoid conflicts between your user and group IDs, it is important to set up the
ranges for the various types of users and groups (i.e., local, NIS domain, and
Windows domain). The ID range should be set up before you create any local
users or join a NIS, NTv4, or ADS domain as you should not change the range after
the domain has been joined. In addition to setting the ID ranges, you also need to
define which volume you are using to store your users' home directories.
To set up the ID ranges and home directory location:
From the Manager Menu, click Access
The User/Group Settings page appears.
Set up the following ID Ranges:
•
Local Users and Groups ID Range: This ID range applies to any users or
groups created from the NSS configuration interface. When you create a
user or group, the ID assigned is in this range. Make sure the range you set
does not conflict with the NIS or Windows domain ranges.
•
NIS Domain Users and Groups ID Range: This ID range should match the
range of IDs defined in your NIS domain and not conflict with the local or
Windows ID range. Set this range before you join the NSS to the NIS
domain.
