I am having what appear to be related problems with group memberships.
Problem 1:
PC using Frontier Technologies SuperTCP/NFS. User mounts
/home/projects2 and can only see one of more than a dozen
directories. The directory that shows up has nothing to do with
the user or his group memberships.
This used to work fine when /home/projects2 was located on my Sun
server. Since I migrated the file system to the Alpha, I keep
getting this consistent error.
Problem 2:
A user, who's default group is 1025 and is a member of another
group (SOCR) tries to list a directory underneath another users
home directory with the following permissions:
# ls -lgd . *fred*
drwxr-s--- 46 ksheers staff 2560 Mar 8 09:51 .
drwxr-s--- 3 ksheers socr 512 Mar 3 17:34 for_fred
When the user (fred) tries to ls /home/ksheers/for_fred, he gets
a permission denied error. When I change fred's default gid to
staff (10), things work as they should.
I'm stumped. I can't figure out why group permissions are working out so
weirdly. I'm probably missing something obvious. Any ideas?
