NFS and nobody.nogroup

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions since 6.0

Symptom:

You mount an NFS directory on a SuSE Linux server. You notice that all of the files belong to nobody.nogroup or that all newly created files are owned by nobody.nogroup.

Reason:

This is a Bug in Userland rpc.nfsd. The Kernel NFSD should not be affected by this. For a currently unknown reason, the rpc.nfsd "forgets" its default settings.

Solution:

Use the no_all_squash option for the exported directory in the /etc/exports configuration file, as shown below:
/src prometheus(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
/src *.suse.de(rw,root_squash,no_all_squash)
