Bruce; > It's mentioned in many places that ownership should be root in most cases and not some other user. That seems like a strange statement to make. > This entire file structure is owned by a user that is ONLY local to the server box One of the requirements of NFS is that the UID and GID numbers need to be consistent between the server and clients. If you have a bunch of mismatched numbers, then file and group ownership is going to look different whether you're looking at it from the server or from a specific client. NFS can also be time sensitive, so use NTP to make sure that clocks are in sync between the server and clients. - Jon -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
