Re: [PLUG] nfs question

[Brad <bderstine@gmail.com>]

I ran into this moving an nfs server on a solaris host, and found that both need nfs server and nfs clients need to be configured to use /etc/idmapd.conf, and that file should have the same domain so the uids/gids work on both, otherwise they default to the nobody/nogroup.

I've heard admins gripe about nfs for years but I'd never tried it... until today!

1. Linux box runs Red Hat and exports a share called dropbox

2. Sun Blade 2500 mounts 192.168.100.5:/dropbox on mountpoint /dropbox.

So, when the root user on the Sun saves a file to the /dropbox the ownership 

changes to 65534 (nobody) and the group to 65534 (nogroup)

It all *appears* to run normally so I'm at a loss to know why UID of 0 on both 

sides gets mis-matched or changed on the fly.

Thanks,

Eric
