Hello, I am nfs mounting a solaris partition from a Linux box. In solaris, the share is configured thus:
share returns: root=myLinux / rw=myLinux "" when the solaris knows of course myLinux in /etc/hosts. from the myLinux machine it is mounted on /mnt/solaris thus: mount |grep /mnt/solaris ipOfSolaris:/ on /mnt/solaris type nfs (rw,soft,addr=ipOfSolaris) when I try , from the linux machine ,from the gnome-terminal, to copy a file from solaris to linux with cp command - it is ok. However,when I try the same with mc I get: "cannot chown target file...operation not permitted" when copying from nfs shared partition" NOTE: It does not seem to me a problem of file permissions - because for this test I changed all to 777. Any ideas? is something missing in the nfs share maybe? from man share_nfs (solaris): Only root users from the hosts specified in access_list have root access. See access_list below. By default, no host has root access, so root users are mapped to an anonymous user ID (see the anon=uid option described above). Netgroups can be used if the file system shared is using UNIX authentica- tion ( AUTH_SYS).
