I am having a similar problem, which has not been solved by the removal of "--manage-gids" in /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server of the Karmic client PC. I did a "sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart" on the Karmic client, though it is irrelevant, I believe.
I am mounting a user directory from a Fedora7 PC ("linux0") NFS server. On the client (Ubuntu Karmic) PC a user ("js") who also belongs to the group 'family" tries to read file "/home/as/MyFiles/Calendar.ics" mounted from "linux0" with the permissions "-rw-r----- 1 as family". This is a problem ONLY in a client PC running Ubuntu Karmic 9.10. It works fine on any other PC running any other version of Ubuntu. I have tested this on several Ubuntu PCs using Karmic, Hardy, Jaunty etc. The user's id is: uid=1001(js) gid=1001(js) groups=1001(js),4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),26(tape),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),103(fuse),104(lpadmin),112(netdev),115(admin),120(sambashare),1999(family),1100(parents) When I try "less /home/as/MyFiles/Calendar.ics" on a PC running "Karmic" I get "Permission denied". I believe that Karmic still has a bug. -- Secondary groups not working with NFS https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/409366 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
