Re: NFS use

Hi,

I don't understand one point on NFS.

I have 2 machines : A (server) B (Local machine)
In both case, I have created a user called 'user1'

I Mount the server on the local machine

local machine:
mkdir /mnt/backupuser1
chown user1 /mnt/backuser1
chgrp user1 /mnt/backuser1
chown 700 /mnt/backuser1

*On the server, I have
RW,no_root_Squash on the /home/user1

If I mount the folder :
mount 192.xxx.xx.xx:/home/user1 /mnt/backupuser1 -> fine

But any folder created on /mnt/backuser1 WILL NEVER BE FROM user1, but a
number 507 (for instance)

Why User1, who wants to write into a folder owned by user1, cannot
create files BELONGING TO user1 ????

thanks for your help

Steve


Hey,

From what I understand from what you are saying, it is probably that user1 has a different uid/gui on each system. See your /etc/passwd and the third/fourth fields. These should be the same. This is part of the reason a lot of systems implementing NFS, also implement NIS!
