[comp.protocols.appletalk] Confused with Guest Access with aufs

alanlevy@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (Alan Levy) (04/30/91)

I have gotten aufs to work on my Sun 3/60 with one exception.
I want to be able to have Guest logins to that aufs volume.

So, in statement I have -G 1050, where 1050 is the UNIX
UID of the guest

And, in the /etc/passwd file I have:

Guest::1050:........

But, when running aufs, it comes back and says that 

guest id 1050 not in PASSWORD file

What PASSWORD file is it referring to?

In the instructions it says that aufs uses the Unix password file.

Help me, please.

Thanks

Thanks for those who helped me out.... Turns out that the aufs program
wants the NAME of the user, not the NUMBER of the user.  I figured that
since the instructions said <guest id> it was referring to the number,
not the actual name.
