Public bug reported:

I have a NFS client/server setup where both client and server are Ubuntu
10.10 (both upgraded from 10.4)

To make UID and GID mapping trivial, I've made sure that clients and
server all have the same users and groups with the same IDs. This used
to work fine. However now the client is always displaying 4294967294 for
the UID and GID but - and here is the strange bit - if I create a file
on the client it shows up on the server with the correct user and group
(but on the client still with 4294967294).

I posted this originally on the forums, and decided to file this bug
when 2 other people reported having the same problem since upgrading to
10.10. In both cases they were using Ubuntu as client and Solaris as
server. See thread here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9983624

Additional info:

/etc/exports line on the server:
data/fileserver 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

/etc/fstab line on the client:
htpc:/data/fileserver /data/fileserver nfs defaults 0 0

Trying to chown a file on the client gives the error "chown: changing
ownership of `somefile': Invalid argument"
