Hmm. I'm not so sure....

On my local workstation, my ID is 3000. On the Synology, the id is 1027. 
On both machines, my user name is "jd". SO, if the mapping is "name 
based", I should see all the files with uid 1027 on the servers with the 
correct name on the client.

This is not the case! A "ls -l" shows me all the different UIDs, but 
neither the corresponding name, nor "nobody".

I try cp/chmod/chgrp again tomorrow morning and post the result here.

Thanks so far...
