nfs uid problem

[Kenan Erdey]

hi;

i have a nfs client and server. i want to export a directory whose owner is oracle, with read and write priviliges. on client side again oracle user will access it. problem comes here:

uids of oracle users are different. is there any chance except making uids same, and run chown for all files owned by oracle ?

thanks.

Shalom Kenan,

If oracle is on the NIS master, and the client is an NIS slave, take the oracle user out of /etc/profile on the slave.

If NIS is not in use change the oracle uid number to be consistent on all hosts. Then chown may be needed on the machine that had the uid change.

Check for uid conflict before making the change. You don't want the oracle and user schmo for example to have the same numeric uid.

Correction

change /etc/profile

to /etc/passwd

what about gid of oracle users on both sides: also different? shared with other users ?

[Kenan Erdey]

yes, they are different.

[Antonio Cardoso_1]

so i'm affraid you need to change UID on client side...
