AHHHHH...

My family just got an ibook to go along with our powermac. Does anyone know how I can sync User permissions perfectly so that we can access files over network (yea we got an airport too, and it will be useless if we can't mirror users on to the ibook). THIS IS SO SO HARD

The long way is to reinstall mac os x on both computers, and recreate the users in the exact same order, then copy each folder of backed up files on manually, while changing permissions and ownership manually. <---- NO WAY I AM NOT DOING THAT.

PLEAAAAASE HELP ME

(AKA if anyone knows how to use chown and chmod to do this PLEASEEEE HELP ME)
