Very Computer

I'm trying to set up nfs and automount on my network...  and having a few
problems:

I have the following in my /etc/exports on the server:

/usr/local/www   192.168.0.*(rw)

in the auto.master on the client:
/mnt/server      /etc/auto.server       --timeout=60

in the auto.server on the client
www    -fstype=nfs,hard,intr      server:/usr/local/www

I can ls the dir fine, but I can't save any edits...  upon looking at the
ll listing (from the client), I see that the user is coming back 501 501,
which is a dev.dev user/group on the server... which the client user is
part of the dev group on the server... but on the client, the uid is 500,
not 501...

I added a group on the client with the same gid as the server, and now it
is coming back 501 dev, and even though the file has 664 perms on it, I
still can't save the file...

I have tried the nosuid option in the auto.server options, but that doesn't
seem to work...  

I must be doing something simple wrong, and any help will be appreciated...

Thanks in advance,
JH

There are options that you can add to your /etc/exports file on the
server, have a look at 'man exports' in the User ID Mapping area. Maybe
this is all you need depending on your circumstances.

664 permissions indicate that owner(501) has read/write access, group
members (dev) have read/write access, and others have read-only access. On
the client machine, are you a member of this new dev group that you
created? if not, then you will have only read access.

It all goes back to synchronizing uid/gids between machines. If you create
users/groups via command line, you can specify which uid/gid to use (I
don't know if this can be done via GUI as I don't use them) and be able
to synchronize these accounts. But be
careful changing existing uid/gids as you will end up with a mess with
ownership/access to files.
