Novice NFS

[Keith O'Connell <keith_oconnell@blueyonder.co.uk>]

Hi,

I am in need of guidance. I can clearly not see the wood for the trees
here. 

I want to make a partition on "frodo" available to all users on both the
other machines on the network. I can mount the partition easy enough. I
can write to it, but it always creates a file as "nobody:nogroup". I
want the user and group details to reflect the creator, in this case me
"keith:keith". Where is my problem likely to lie?

The uid/gid entries are the same on each machine ( there is only one
user "keith")
the exports file on the server reads

		/frodo		(rw,no_root_squash)

I have read the nfs howto, the "network administrators guide", and the
man pages. It seems to me it I can mount it and write to it as "nobody"
then I must be almost there, but I cannot see the last step

I seek guidance/enlightenment - Anyone?
