Default NIS automount mount the file system with nobody as user and nobody as group

Hi Gurus,

I am trying to auto mount user home directories to NIS clients.

NIS master has the /export/home direcotry that is the one I am trying
to mount to NIS clients.

Linux clients mount the directories with right user and group
permissions. But nor Solaris 10 clients.



NIS server and clients are both running same veriosn of Solaris 10.



2 drwxr-x--- 2 nobody nobody 512 Oct 2 13:35 testuser1


Thanks

The quick fix for this would be to copy the nsswitch.conf file from
the server to the clients that are giving you this type of issue.
Usually, root ID would do nobody nobody on the files created on an nfs
mount
Let me know if you need more help.

OK.
Check your vfstab file and see if it is assigned to a specific group?
Do a umount on the NFS share from the NIS Master server.
Do a mount on the NFS share
vi /etc/dfs/dfstab

share -F nfs /export/home -o (vu dfstab file)

shareall (from the shell prompt)

than umount the NFS share from the client and mount it again.
