nfs issue

I have exported a file system from solaris server(Mars) and imported on HP ux box(venus).

on solaris server i have used
share -F nfs -o rw=venus /1

on hp ux box i have used

mount -F nfs mars:/1 /2

the issue is that when i creating a file in /2 directory of venus no group and user ownership is coming

root@venus:/2]# touch test
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody nogroup 0 Jul 12 16:26 test


what could be an issue...?

Re: nfs issue

Hi,

I guess you are root on host mars - root is by default mapped to 'nobody' .
If you try as a regulary user, the uid is kept.

Keep in mind, that if the id is NOT known at the reomte system or is mapped to a different username, the output of 'ls -l' , done at the other host, will differ!
