*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

I have installed nfs-kernel-server (1:1.1.2-4ubuntu1) on Ubuntu Alternate 8.10 
and nfs-common (1:1.1.4-1ubuntu1) on Kubuntu 9.04. 
There seems to be no way, to see the original uid and gid of the exported files 
on the client side. The uid and gid of every file is always 65534.
I configured both systems like described in the Ubuntu help:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto/
and I did a lot of variations. I especially tried all combinations of 
no_all_squash, all_squash, no_root_squash, root_squash,  no_subtree_check, 
subtree_check in the /etc/exports settings.
I also tried to use all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000 to map all uids and 
gids to 1000, but nothing happened.  The uid and gid of every file is always 
65534.
Every time I changed the /etc/exports settings file, I did a

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

on the server, and a umount than a

/etc/init.d/nfs-common restart

and a remount of the nfs resource on the client.
