Okay, as some have suggested, it was a problem with the nfs mount. When I umount'ed the share, ownership returned and it's okay. It turns out the issue seems to be more of a DNS issue, which I've fixed. (I had switched to DHCP for testing something else and a typo when I switched back caused the problem.) Hal
