NFS UID limit 65535

Is the upper limit for UIDs in NFS? Is it 65535?
A friend it trying to get home directories automounted. His personal
NIS account is in the 100000s. The id and whoami commands show his
account, but the home directory and all files are owned by "nobody".

The kernel versuon is RedHat 2.4.21-15.ELsmp ?

In all things there are limits. I'm not sure what the hp-ux limit is.

Can your system run the Red Hat 2.6.x kernel. That might alleviate the issue.

Hi,

As per I know the older version of kernel before 2.4 has 16 bit for UID i.e, 65535

but from 2.4 onwards its 32 bit ... So I guess this version of kernel should work ..
but its not working :(-
