having a little issue exporting a dir. to a remote box. I trying to
force the uid to map the remote box uid.

Can this be done with anonuid and anongid?

#/etc/exports
/test foo2(rw,all_squash,anonuid=221,anonuid=221)

which on the remote box (foo2) the 221 uid and gid map to foouser. but
when i login root on the remote box and mount the export it show as the
foo uid and gid.

You are posting Linux format /etc/exports in comp.sys.hp.hpux, which is not a
Linux newsgroup.

The anonuid/anongid are the UID and GID to use for anonymous (typically root)
access. There is no way to map UID and GID that I am aware of - you need to
define the same UID/GID to the same user name on each host.

Well, _technically_ it just might be possible to tweak an NFS server to
do that. At least if your server happens to run Linux... check the
ClusterNFS project on SourceForge. It doesn't seem to do quite what you
want, but it does some other weird stuff based on remote address and
UID and such.

That said, do remember to check the NFS file locking too if you really
plan to run a HP-UX NFS client and a Linux NFS server. There are a
couple of pitfalls there.
