Are you sure the user (reader) is defined on the client with the same UID? It it was, you should see reader as owner instead of 1000 Yes, absolutely sure... I went to some lengths to set that up. Given the above answer, then should it really matter if I use reader or 1000? ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] auto mount nfs shares
Have you checked the automount(1M) man page? The simple case for 1 filesystem to be automounted is to specify it in a direct map. The section on Direct Maps gives an example of what to add to /etc/auto_master. See also the Map Entry Format section for what to put in /etc/auto_direct. That should hopefully get you up and running.

Re: [osol-discuss] auto mount nfs shares
OK. Your /etc/auto_master should contain a line at the end like this: /- /etc/auto_direct Then, create /etc/auto_direct and put something like this in it: /local/mount/point server:/remote/mount/point If you need to give any options (such as those given on the mount_nfs(1M) man page), then add these after the local mount point and before the remote mount point, e.g.: /usr/mysoftware -oro server:/export/mysoftware Once you've done that, running /usr/sbin/automount should mount the new mountpoint for you. If it doesn't, then try svcadm restart autofs. Incidentally, the name auto_direct is not hard-coded - you can name it anything you wish.

The automounter has some advantages here. Yes, I can see it would. However, mounted the way I have now set in automounter: my user is not allowed to write there. I don't really think its the fault of automount because mounting it my hand (mount -Fnfs zfs:/projects /projects) has the same result. The directory /projects (the mountpoint) was created on localhost with Owner=reader(1000) Group=wheel(15) and 755 permissions with setgid bit set. # ls -ld /projects drwxr-sr-x 9 1000 wheel 12 2009-07-24 15:37 /projects And that is how it appears when automounter has mounted the share with these settings in /etc/auto_mounter and /etc/auto_direct # grep '^[^#]' /etc/auto_master +auto_master /net-hosts -nosuid,nobrowse /home auto_home -nobrowse /- auto_direct = * = * = * = # grep '^[^#]' /etc/auto_direct /projects zfs.local.lan:/projects As mounted with automounter: # ls -l /projects [...] -rw--- 1 1000 wheel 189268 2009-06-29 09:52 bookmarks.html drwxrwxrwx 9 1000 wheel 10 2009-07-13 08:38 harvey -rw-r--r-- 1 1000 wheel 191372 2009-06-28 19:44 hput-bookmarks-2009-06-28.html drwxr-xr-x 3 1000 wheel 3 2009-01-21 18:22 mob1 [...] # ls -ld /projects drwxr-sr-x 9 1000 wheel 12 2009-07-24 15:37 /projects My user has UID 1000 and belongs to group `wheel' on both localhost and remotehost, but yet is not able to write to the automounted share. The remote:/projects (remote share) is also setup the same way: (on remote host) ls -ld /projects rwxr-sr-x 9 reader wheel 12 2009-07-24 15:37 /projects I don't understand why user reader is not allowed to write to that mounted share.
