1845.0. "can't create file in nfs disk from SUN" by RANGER::BRSDVP::DHAENS () Mon May 05 1997 12:37

    Problems on nfs disks with Pathworks V6.1A
    
    The users can't create files on imported disks coming from SUN.
    When a Alpha does the export, no problem is seen.
    The file is created with a echo  and a redir in a cmd box.
    
    The SUN is running OS V4.x
    
    Any hints to help this customer?

Is Sun exporting the share for root map only?  Can Unix users, other than root, create files
on the exported share?  If so, check the uid of the user trying to write to see if it is valid
on the sun box.  Digital Unix has the -annon option that lets you define what uid you write the
file as.

1845.2No create on a NFS diskRANGER::BACHUS::DHAENSMon May 12 1997 12:0024
    Tested it in different combination with root map yes/no and with -anon,
    without succes.
    
    The unix user has access to the drive in rcwxd. The owner of the file
    created is nobody.
    The Pathworks user is mapped to this account but has no create access.
    i.e. rename, append, edit works fine but no command that creates a
    file.
    In Windows NT.
    	a Dos editor can not create his .bak file:
    		error: invalid filename
    	a echo string >filename
    		the device attached to the system is responding
    
    I verified the lanmanager permissions: everyone full access.
    The NTFS permissions are for that user full access.
    
    A subdirectory mounted from a Digital unix works.

Did this happen before 6.1A?  Did it work with 6.1 ECO1 or ECO2?

1845.4only remarked with V6.1ARANGER::BACHUS::DHAENSTue May 13 1997 09:3811
    It worked for sure with Pathworks V5.0Feco2.
    Because of other troubles we haven't checked this with versions other
    than V6.1A.
    
    The customer is using the SUN for a printing engine.
    We can't work in the reverse way (osf export and sun import) because
    of disk space troubles.
    
    Do you have some recommendations/hints?
