Hi Mahesh, thanks for your help. Unfortunately I can't get it to function properly yet.

Check out share_nfs(1M) > and sharemgr(1M) Although the uid 501 (coming from the mac) is not a known user on the solaris machine, it ends up assigning this UID as the file owner: # sharemgr show -vp default nfs=(anon="101") zfs zfs/largeAtt/eyeTV nfs=(anon="101") smb=() Still ends up creating new entries with: -rw-r--r-- 1 501 games 278528 2008-01-08 19:16 testFile which is the uid from the mac (501, GID 20 is "staff" on mac and apparently "games" on opensolaris). I am not using kerberos or so, so it should be AUTH_SYS, as far as I understand. Is there still something wrong with my configuration here? Thanks again, Dominik
