id summary reporter owner description type status priority milestone component resolution keywords cc fix_version see_also 300 pts-aware ls geofft "`ls -l`, and possibly friends like `stat`(1), should identify users and groups for file owners based on what the target AFS cell calls that uid and gid, not based on what the local system (either local users/groups, or if you're lucky Hesiod = ATHENA users and groups) calls them. This helps both foreign realms with their own naming system, local groups that conflict with network groups (cf. #299), and debathena-standard users who don't have Hesiod users/groups in NSS. Apparently there's a patch in the gnu locker to make its version of ls be Hesiod-aware, which might serve as inspiration. Possible things to do with this ls once we've implemented it: * Stick it in a locker, like the old gnu locker version. * Make the patch entirely too clever for its own good so that it's suitable to send upstream. * Debathenify it locally. * Write it as a scary Python wrapper a la debathena-printing-config." enhancement new low The Distant Future --
