user of nfs mounted dir is 4294967294



Hi,

for some reason after sucessfully mounting a Windows Services For Unix (no nasty comments about that pls ;-) NFS share on the linux side as user or as root, for the mount owner the user id is -2. I'm not using NIS on the Windows server, but manual user name mapping (although not Simple Mapping).

I tried Google Groups and saw this problem crops up a lot, but could not find any solution posted. Maybe someone here knows a solution?

On the Debian Sarge box the nfs mount is in /etc/fstab as:

192.168.1.108:/viaepia /opt nfs defaults,retry=1,user 0 0

Mount result is below:

jwagner@mini:/opt$ ls -al
total 2
drwxrwxrwx 2 4294967294 root 64 2007-03-17 18:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 1024 2007-03-01 19:39 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 jwagner jwagner 64 2007-03-17 18:36 tmp

4294967294 apparently is the "nobody" user. Any ideas why this is not root, like the group?

And this is my mapping on the SFU server:

[Version]

jwagner:***censored***:1000:1000:jwagner::

(I posted the same on microsoft.public.servicesforunix.general separately, could not crosspost to both there and this newsgroup...)

Many thanks!
