Comment 6 for bug 966734

Having scoured the internet some more, I've found a couple more sources that confirm the idmapping works when Kerberos security is enabled.. and that it doesn't work properly without it.
The fact that the usernames are still converted correctly in listing, just not access control, still makes it look a lot like a bug rather than a feature though. (I mean, the results from "ls" should really match the access control, otherwise it's very confusing!)

In the meantime, I'll look into setting up Kerberos, but I'm pretty certain it will be a no-go here -- too much effort for what appears to be too little gain. (We already have a single-sign-on system in place)

cheers,
Toby
