I have 4 linux boxes and I want to mount the home directories from a Win
2003R2 NFS server. I have the NFS server up and running and can mount NFS
shares but the GID is wrong. It is -2 instead of 0.

When I mount home directories from another linux box, it is mounted as 0/0
as follows. I'm trying to get the 2003R2 NFS server to do the same.
$ mount | grep home
192.168.0.5:/home on /home type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.0.5)
$ ls -ld /home
drwxr-xr-x 45 root root 4096 2006-07-10 13:53 /home
$ ls -ldn /home
drwxr-xr-x 45 0 0 4096 2006-07-10 13:53 /home

Initially the UID was -2 also, but I changed the shared folder to be owned
by a user called "root" with a UID of 0 and that worked.

However, I have had no luck with the GID. I created a group called
"root-group" (AD wouldn't let me call the group "root" as there was
already
an object with that name) and assigned it a GID of 0. Also the root user
has
a primary unix group of "root-group".

How do I set the folder permissions and/or any other settings so that the
I
can mount the home directory with 0/0 and drwxr-xr-x as listed above ???

Thanks,
Brendan.
