We're running Mips/Risk OS 4.01 and have recently installed Sun OS 4.1 on several suns. When on these suns, cd'd through NFS to the Mips, 'creat' creates files owned by uid 65535 (-1 on the Mips). This is the 'nobody' id. Since we're generally not 'nobody' on the sun this makes it a little inconvenient to work with the newly created file. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any solutions? We have a call in to a Tech Rep but would appreciate any information available. G.H.A. Programmer/Analyst Computing Science Dept University of Alberta gordon@cs.ualberta.ca

I have gone around with both Sun and MIPS on the problem, but not gotten anything solved. I have heard that it is "fixed in 4.5" but since my MIPS rep never tells me anything (small account, so that's understandable) I don't know if 4.5 is out, fixes things, or how much it costs. The latter doesn't matter as I have no grant money anyway. dan davison dept. of biochemical sciences university of houston davison@uh.edu DAVISON@UHOU -- dr. dan davison/dept. of biochemical and biophysical sciences/univ. of Houston/4800 Calhoun/Houston,TX 77054-5500/davison@uh.edu/DAVISON@UHOU "Mars is essentially in the same orbit...somewhat the same distance from the sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe" -- Vice President Dan Quayle, Head of the National Space Council, when questioned on CNN about why America should send a mission to Mars. [Houston Post, Sun.
