Hi All,
Just trying to get a small simple network of 4/5 machines up and running. I have one large filesystem which I nfs share out from the server:
/etc/exports:
/shared (rw)
I have created user groups, and users with the same uid and gid on both sides (client and server), e.g.
groupadd -g 152 devgroup
useradd -u 550 -g devgroup -d /home/userA -G users -m userA
I mount the share on the client using the following in fstab
/etc/fstab:
server:/shared /shared nfs defaults,rw,exec,nosuid 0 0
This seems to mount the share ok, but when I write to it as userA the end result is user "nobody" and group "nogroup" . How do I get it so that it's user "userA" and group "devgroup"???
Basically, I want users to be able to protect their work from others. Having everybody as "nobody" won't help this!
TIA
RikD.
