I have noticed a strange thing with the VAX Ultrix 3.1 vcc compiler (actually the lk linker) when you use it on a directory NFS-mounted from an hp9000s800 machine running HP-UX 3.1). It sets the setuid and setgid bits on the executables it generates!!! Very interesting... Who is to blame, DEC or HP?

I've seen the same problem with a file-system located on a PCS-Cadmus and mounted on a CONVEX. I've talked with a guy at PCS, and he told me that there is maybe a problem with short/long in the NFS protocol. But we don't get a closer look to the problem, because we mainly exported Convex Filesystems to the Cadmus and not vice-versa. So we don't know which side is buggy, the client or the server. I don't know details of the HP NFS Implementation, but the NFS for the PCS-Cadmus was originally from LAI. The Cadmus is a SYS-V machine. The Convex is BSD-ish, and I think its NFS is derived from the BSD Implementation like Ultrix.

I have seen a similar problem just by compiling as root on a normal local UFS filesystem. This was Ultrix 3.0. cheers Jens Trier Rasmussen
