I have a server (CentOS 5 Update 2) sharing a filesystem via nfs:
---- /etc/exports ----
/data clienthost(rw,sync,root_squash)
----
and a client (RHEL 4 Update 6) mounting it:
---- /etc/fstab ----
//server/data /data nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr
----
Creating a directory on the share:
# mkdir /data/testdir
# chown usera:groupx /data/testdir
# chmod 2775 /data/testdir
seems to work fine, and the directory looks fine from both server and
client. Right permissions, right ownerships, so far so good.
Except, a different user (userb) NOT in the same group can still do
whatever he/she wants in that directory, completely counter to what
unix permissions claim should be possible.
Both systems get user/group information via LDAP, so uids/gids are
consistent across machines.
This is a head-scratcher for me. WHY is a user who should have no
permissions able to create/modify/delete files in this directory?
