Hmm. I'm not an expert on NFS and wouldn't immediately know where to look in the code to check, but my tentative bet is that NFS thinks the hardwired ID 2147483648 is an ephemeral ID (because it's in the ephemeral range) and is upset about the idea of passing an ephemeral ID across the wire.

so having this default SYSTEM group which is unmapped is preventing NFS access working.

It isn't exactly unmapped.  It's unconditionally mapped to 2147483648.

So I could in theory add that group to NIS and all would be well?

Don't know for sure. Again, my bet is that the problem is that NFS is upset because it doesn't want to pass (what it thinks is) an ephemeral ID over the wire.

I'll need to talk to the CIFS experts about this.


In practice though setting an ACL on the root of the file system of this:

A+owner@:full_set:fd:allow,everyone@:read_set/execute:fd:allow

has solved the issue as it seems to prevent the XP system from using the SYSTEM group.

Sure.  We still need to figure out why SYSTEM is giving NFS indigestion.
