This is the plan.
Each of our developers has a SunBlade 100 work station with PC cards installed, and almost all development is done on these workstations under Windows.
We also have a single ultra-10 Sparc server running Solaris 2.9.
We want to be able to share the web directory on our server so that it can be viewable by the SunBlade computers, so that the developers can log in from Windows and create, edit, delete, and otherwise munge files. All permissions need to be retained, of course, and so on.
What I have tried to do is the following:
1. Share the web directory on the webserver:
# share -F nfs /web
2. Mount the shared directory on the user's home directory on their SunBlade, on the "Solaris side":
# mount server:/web /mnt
3. Share the user's home directory so that it can be seen on the "Windows side":
# share -F nfs -o rw=user /usr/home/user
I tried step 2 while logged in as user but got an error telling me that permission was denied (in my experience, "mount" can only be executed as root anyway). I also tried step one with the rw=user flag but when I tried to mount it I was denied permission, even though there is an account for user on the server.
At this point, the user sees their Solaris home directory as a separate drive under Windows, and sees the web directory as a subfoler under that. However, when I try creating files on the server from Windows, my user name is not retained; the file shows up as being owned by "1001" and not by "user".
I've researche Google and Google groups as well as reading trhough the Bigadmin portal on the Sun site. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can proceed from here, and what I can try doing?
Also, if this is not the most appropriate forum for this question, can anyone suggest another that I can ask in?
