The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX, version 3.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Windows Services For UNIX (SFU) 2.0 mapping server stores advanced maps that
have been created by using local accounts with the computer name as part of the
map:
<computer name>\<local user account>
In SFU 3.0, these maps are stored with the universal $LocalHost machine name:
$LOCALHOST\<local user account>
When you move SFU 2.0 maps to an SFU 3.0 mapping server, you must delete and then
re-create these maps.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that
are listed at the beginning of this article.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, use one of the following methods.
Only a Few Advanced Maps
------------------------
If there are only a few advanced maps, delete them by using SFU Administrator.
Note that the MAPADMIN command-line utility cannot delete these maps.
Many Advanced Maps
------------------
If there are lots of advanced maps, edit the backup file, and make the changes
before you restore to the new mapping server.
The backup file is a simple text file in the following format:
*:\\<computer
name>\ntuser:1:nisdomain:nisserver:unixuser:passwd:uid:gid:
Open the backup file in a text editor (such as Notepad.exe), and then replace the
<computer name> with the $LOCALHOST value by using the Replace command on
the Edit menu:
*:\\$LOCALHOST\ntuser:1:nisdomain:nisserver:unixuser:passwd:uid:gid:
