Hello Managers,
I've got an unusual NFS problem (aren't they all?)
I'm sharing a number of directories using an NFS server. There is one
particular machine whose root user I wish to have root access to the NFS
server so I've used the root=<special_workstation> syntax in
/etc/dfs/dfstab. This seems to be working fine for most NFS-shared
directories (they're project directories)...however, for one project
directory, I can't cd into the directory as root on <special_workstation> -
I get permission denied. The weird thing is that access to these directories
for ordinary users is controlled via groups and when I run "newgrp
<relevant_project_group>" as root, I can cd into the directory fine... I
would have imagined that I wouldn't have required newgrp as root? I'm not
running NIS but group and user ID's are the same in both workstations. OS is
Solaris 8.
Any ideas? I hope somebody can help me with this obscure query :)
Thanks,
John Kelly.
