Perhaps more expansively:
Is the new MDS configured to be able to authenticate these users? Using
/etc/passwd synchronization to do network auth is nasty. It's just
asking for weird troubles if you don't get it exactly right. LDAP or
similar is the way to go.
This time replying to group as well :)
That could be it, the cluster has a nis server for user management, so I
guess I need to add the nis client to the MDS. I'd not done this as I
didn't think it would be needed and would prevent the normal users from
logging in directly to the MDS. But thinking about the way Lustre
operates, I can see why it would be needed.
Having installed nis on the MDS i can confirm that this does indeed seem
to have fixed the permissions problem.
Thanks for the speedy replies all.
Cheers.
