Re: [PLUG] directory permissions corrupted in 8.10


Pardon questioning the obvious, but do the UID's match between the
client and the server. NFS also has this feature of expecting user ids
to line up. Sudo doesn't help in that situation as network file
systems (sensibly) tend to quash those users. Root on localhost
doesn't equate to root on server.

Anyways, just a line of thought.
