a question about nfs,Non-root users on all NFS clients are consider what?

The root users on all other NFS clients are considered "unknown" to the NFS server, so they are given the access privileges of user nobody. Non-root users on all NFS clients are consider which one?

Hi,

it depends on your configuration but
you can have the same uid, gid for Non-root
users as on clinet systems.

The NFS filesystem is simply 'spliced' into the existing filesystem so the owners of the files and directories in the NFS system belong to another computer. It will appear that user names on your local computer may show up in ll commands, but that isn't meaningful. The ll command sees the NFS file's owner ID number and uses the local passwd file to come up with a name. Unless both computers have an identical passwed file, these associations are meaningless. That's one of the reasons some people use NIS (a central password server).
