[Samba] File access rights on a NFS share: please help !

[Sabrina Lautier]

Jeremy, Tom,

First of all thanks a lot for your help.

Actually, I set up 3 NFS servers for the tests: a Solaris 8, a Linux SuSe
E9 and an EMC NAS NS600 one but each time I came to the same conclusion...

I tested that also but I confirm that there is only one gid 16777328...

Any more idea ?

Rgds,
Sabrina

Solaris 8 has a limit of 16 groups I believe. If your user
is in more than 16 groups the groups over 16 will be silently
truncated for NFS access.

Any way you can move to an NFS server that supports more
groups ?
