OK.... Then, are your UID/GID the same on all systems? Just check in your passwd file. For example. [egreshko@meimei ~]$ grep maria /etc/passwd maria:x:1030:1030:Maria Yang:/home/maria:/bin/bash The UID of that user is 1030 and just so happens so is the GID. And the GID is defined here [egreshko@meimei ~]$ grep maria /etc/group maria:x:1030: So, assuming yours is similar, all you need do on the server is... chown -R bobg:bobg /nfs4exports Using maria as an example.... ORIGINALLY on the client The file system has been mounted and shows up in df as so [maria@frk ~]$ df | grep some f31k:/nfs4exports/home 27663360 6973696 19261440 27% /somepoint [maria@frk ~]$ ll -d /somepoint/ drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Dec 10 20:24 /somepoint/ [maria@frk ~]$ touch /somepoint/x touch: cannot touch '/somepoint/x': Permission denied Then on the server. root@f31k /]# chown -R maria:maria /nfs4exports/ Now, back on the client. [maria@frk ~]$ ll -d /somepoint/ drwxr-xr-x. 2 maria maria 4096 Dec 10 20:33 /somepoint/ [maria@frk ~]$ touch /somepoint/x [maria@frk ~]$ ls /somepoint/x /somepoint/x OK? -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
