Dear Listmembers, I encountered a problem on a NFS mounted file system. We have all home directories mounted via NFS, works fine except for the following: When the SGID bit is set, it is not possible to create subdirectorys:
# pwd /home/username # mkdir nfstest # chmod g+s nfstest # mkdir nfstest/test mkdir: Failed to make directory "nfstest/test"; Permission denied The home directory are automounted with the following flags: # mount ... /home/username on xxx:/export/home/username remote/read/write/setuid/devices/xattr/dev=470004d on Thu Mar 8 08:36:58 2007 ... This happens on a Solaris 10 machine; user, group and automount information are fetched from a LDAP server. Presumably it's just a mount option I'm missing, but spending quite some time now, I couldn't figure out what is causing this. Cheers, Frank
