  • Thanks for the detailed reply. I've seen mentions of authentication over the years, but the conclusion from every thread like this was that it was nearly impossible to setup.

    This doesn't sound too bad.

  • Yes, displaying the wrong user is a symptom of it not enforcing security.

    I'm not sure what idmap is. Does it allow the user numbers to be translated per folder?

    Consider this setup: Two users on the server, Bob: 1001 and Jane 1002, and they have each been given ownership and exclusive access to separate folders.

    Then you mount that to another machine where the user numbers are swapped. In that case, Bob gets Jane's files and Jane gets Bob's files.

    Or worse, someone else on the network connects to the share with the 1001 user number. Then they get access to all of Bob's files. This can be prevented by limiting access to the share from a single IP.

  • Does the GPU have 8GB of memory?

    This sounds like a problem we had back in the 32bit days. Video memory from the GPU is mapped into the normal memory space. Systems with 4GB could never use all of it because of that.

    This still happens with 64bit systems, but the address space is so big the video memory doesn't overlap with system memory addresses anymore.

    I think there is a BIOS setting to force that mapping into back into the first part of addresses. Might want to find that setting and make sure it is off.

  • In the very late 90s or early 2000s there was a leaked "October papers" or something like that. It detailed Microsoft's plan to move to Windows as a service. It seems like it is taking longer than they thought, but they've been moving this way for a long time.

    I wish I kept a copy or was better at searching the old internet...
