RE: SFU 3.5 NFS server username mapping problem

Hi, Edward!

Actually, I solved the problem, but I'm not exactly sure is this can help you.
I mapped administrator login to UID 0, then made sure that my Domain Admin
group have mapping with UNIX GID 0. Once I done that I was able to access it.
When I test it on Solaris 9 without NIS, everything worked fine. So that
could be OS specific NFS anonymous user mapping. Try to cat /etc/passwd and
for NFS nobody user account. Then get his UID and GID. Go to your Windows
server NFS shared folder preferences and enable anonymous access. Then type
UID and GID NFS anonymous user in. Hopefully, that will help...

Best regards,

Aleksey
