Hey folks, here's a question I don't quite know how to answer. I understand that in NFS the UID/GID of the owner of the file is passed back and forth the same as if it was a local file system. So that means to me that if my UID on the machine I'm accessing the file from is 1091 with and my primary GID is 1002 then when I write a file to an NFS directory, then it will write the file as being owned by 1091:1009, right? Question is, does that still happen when the machine hosting the actual file system doesn't HAVE a UID and/or GID matching? For example, if the local machine only has GID up to 1003, and UID up to 1052, off my head, will the files still be owned by 1091:1009? Or will the nfs daemon remap them to a different UID/GID? Is there a way to force a UID/GID in the event of a UID and/or GID not being in use? Or even always forcing a UID/GID?
I'm curious. Would love to know! --- Dan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
