Grant, Your ID domains are not matching on your clients and your server. All you want to know about it is at: http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Community+Group+documentation/files/nfsmapid.html You don't mention what your clients are, but you can find out how to query their domain (and set it) here: http://blogs.sun.com/nfsv4/ Thanks, Tom
