nfs/nis client ownership issue

Hi,

I have 2 systems - solaris 10

1 is nfs/nis server while other is nis/nfs client and user directories mounted on the client.

the authentication works fine. but I find out of all users, only 2 users directory is owned by some usernames who are local user on client system.

I checked the UIDs for current local owner and should be owner, they do not match ( UIDs did match earlier so I changed the UID for original user on nis server).

user when logs on to the nis client, correctly gets the home directory but when creates files they are owned by some local user..while the directory and other files in directory is also owned by that local user.

I wonder how can I solve this issue, can somone please help

Thanks

I was able to solve this issue,

I ran following command on solaris 10 client, I wonder what exactly solved this issue thogugh - any guess?

and on server :

My best guess is that nscd had the old uids cached. If so, you could have just restarted it. Also there is a command to force it to reload just passwd data.

See: nscd(1M) - name service cache daemon

Thanks for your views Perderabo, I will keep this in mind and try next time when I will have the same ownership issue.

:)good day
