I’m a novice with macs. Been running a system with CentOS as a server for years, usually Linux (Ubuntu) as workstations. Users sometimes use Windows XP (in a VM – virtualbox connecting via SAMBA).

We just attached a MacMini with Mavericks and have had some problems due I think mostly to permissions issues. The user finds she is locked out of documents she had created previously in Linux, and others are locked out of new docs created now under the mac.

We have the same uer name, now with the same UID. The GID on the mac is wrong, but I want to make sure I don’t bork her system before changing things.

I can, from the terminal, login in as a root or admin user. Can anyone tell me what I can do for her without creating a mess?

Thanks.
