Thanks... I tried that out. I choose to make the match by changing the uid on the osol box since the linux box would have involved a trainload of files the `chown'. Even recursivly would have been a major chore and all over the os too. So anyway I changed the osol users uid to 1000 matching the linux user uid. It caused something of mess on the osol box but finally got everything changed over to uid 1000 for my user. Trying the mount that way is a total failure anyway. mount -F nfs reader:/pub /pub nfs mount: insufficient privileges On osol box reader > uname SunOS reader > id reader uid=1000(reader) gid=10(staff) groups=10(staff),3(sys),4(adm),15(wheel) On linux box reader > uname Linux reader > id reader uid=1000(reader) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),10(wheel)[...] Do the gids also have to match? And will changing this stuff for the osol user cause some other nasty problems.. (I mean besides tracking down all the files and changing gid on them) And anyway this seems a little off the wall. I mean nfs is supposed to be a way to share a fs between many machines, surely its not expected the uid and gids will all match.
