NTFS-3G.USERMAP(8)					    NTFS-3G.USERMAP(8)

NAME
       ntfs-3g.usermap - NTFS Building a User Mapping File

SYNOPSIS
       ntfs-3g.usermap windows-system-device [other-ntfs-device...]

       Where windows-system-device is the device containing the Windows system
       whose users are to be mapped to current Linux system.

       And other-ntfs-device is another device containing files which  are  to
       be  accessed both by the Windows mentioned above and current Linux sys‐
       tem.

       the ntfs-3g.usermap command must be started as root, and the designated
       devices must not be mounted.

       Typing  ntfs-3g.usermap	with no args will display a summary of command
       arguments.

DESCRIPTION
       ntfs-3g.usermap creates	the  file  defining  the  mapping  of  Windows
       accounts to Linux logins for users who owns files which should be visi‐
       ble from both Windows and Linux.

       It relies on existing files which were created on  Windows,  trying  to
       locate  significant  files  and asking which Linux user or group should
       own them. When a Linux owner or group is requested, the reply may be :

       - the uid or gid (numeric or symbolic) of Linux owner or group  of  the
       file.
	      In that situation, no more file with the same Windows owner will
	      be selected.
       - or no answer, when not able to define the owner or group.
	      In that situation another file owned by the same Windows user or
	      group may be selected later so that a mapping can be defined.

       The  mappings  for  standard  Windows users, such as "Administrator" or
       "All Users" are defined implicitly. As a	 consequence  a	 user  mapping
       should never be defined as Linux root.

       When  there  are	 no more significant files, ntfs-3g.usermap create the
       mapping file into the file UserMapping in the current  directory.  This
       file  has  to  be moved to the hidden directory .NTFS-3G in the root of
       all the NTFS file systems to be shared between Windows and Linux.  This
       requires	 the  file system to be mounted, but the created file will not
       be taken into account if not present at mount  time,  which  means  the
       file  system  has to be unmounted and mounted again for the new mapping
       file to be taken into account.

       No option is defined for ntfs-3g.usermap.
