******************************************************************************** **** **** Problems with NFS on a HP 9000/345 running HP-UX 7.0 We've got a problem with the a.m. NFS implementation. May be it's a HP specific problem, may be it could be a general one. If we export filesystems from the HP to another host, or to the world, all the files created or modified by this host will get an uid of "-2". This is independent of which user on the host creates the file, that is "root" or "someoneelse" are treated identically. This problem leads to the fact, that I have to give rwx - rights to anyone, to allow for modification/ creation of files. Unfortunately this causes a lot of security problems in a NFS environment. I would appreciate, if someone could give me some hints how to solve this problem, if there exists a solution at all. Please mail your answer to prl@ibzffm.uucp regards prl **** **** ******************************************************************************** **** **** *** Peter R.
