Hi everyone,
have a good day to you.
I am trying to use NFS to share a folder between 2 linux systems.
Let's say the server which is sharing the folder is server A and the client which need to access this shared folder is server B.
In server B, i am having a Joe user which UID and GID is 500. Joe user does not exist on server A. The purpose: Joe user must be the owner of shared folder from server A on server B.
From the exports man page, I can see that we have the option for User ID Mapping by setting the following in /etc/exports on server A:
/etc/shared <Server B IP Address>(rw,all_squash,anonuid=500,anongid=500)
However, when I execute the mount command on server B to mount the shared folder to a mount point, I do not get the UID and GID of Joe. Instead, I am getting root which is the same as this folder on server A.
Is there anything that I am missing here? Please suggests.
Regards,
Michael
