  • All of the names containing “rus”/"русь"1 ultimately come from Русь from where Russia and Belarus both inherit their names.

    So, the name of the country Belarus literally means “White Rus”, and it seems like the Dutch word I assume you’re talking about for the country (Wit-Rusland) was borrowed from the Russian word белоруссия and (incorrectly, I guess?) translated as white (бело) + Russia (руссия) despite the “руссия” also in this word referring to Rus and not Russia (spelled differently as Россия).

    1 the word Россия, too, but from what I can find it is borrowed from Greek and the others including Русь from Arabic, hence the different vowel

    Please just use Kerberos instead of fiddling with uids. It’s the only sane way to get NFS access controls and user mapping. Works on both Linux and macOS (but there’s no NFS on Windows anyway).

    I’d say you can run the Kerberos KDC on the NAS but if Synology has some locked down special OS you’ll need another machine for that (edit: but you say you have other servers already so that shouldn’t be a problem).

    Unfortunately SMB is so screwed that you can’t reuse ordinary Kerberos for authentication there, which is unfortunate if you want to have both that and NFS. I’ve yet to look into whether Samba AD can be used for both.
