I have a SimpleFS machine nfs mounted onto an alpha running tru64 v4.0f.
A detar onto the nfs mounted directory left all the files from the
tar file owned by root:nobody. I tried to chown them to user sswowner
- and the files were chowned to nobody.
Some usernames work in the chown command, some don't. There doesn't seem
to be any logic behind which work and which result in "nobody" ownership.
Example:
# ls -l testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Oct 7 17:14 testfile
# chown amy testfile
# ls -l testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 amy nobody 0 Oct 7 17:14 testfile
# chown sswowner testfile
# ls -l testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Oct 7 17:14 testfile
Group membership doesn't appear to be the issue, as some members of a group
work and others don't.
Suggestions? Places to start looking? I don't know if this is a passwd file
issue, an nfs issue, a simplefs issue, or what.
