there is a strange permission problem with a NFS share on my system.
Somehow, it is not recognized that my user "markus" is in the group
"wir", when I do changes on a NFS mount. If I do the changes local on
the server, everything is fine... Let me go into the details:

Using the default Debian installation you need to set the group
memberships on the NFS Server, not on the Client.


I was working with nfs for years, but I have not the slightest idea what
the problem is here...

See rpc.mountd(8) with its --manage-gids option, and (apparently)
