NFS permissions Changed


Hello,

I have an NFS server on Windose Server 2003. I use it to back my Linux/Solaris databases up to. I mounted the NFS share on the Linux box. I was testing the permissions to it, and accidentally did a
chown sybase:sybase /OLBackup

OLBackup is the root directory of the NFS share. When I did the chown command, it changed the permissions on the share. Now it seems that linux is controlling the permissions. In windose I cant add users/groups. How can I remove Linux from owning the permissions.

Im not sure if this is a windose issue or a linux issue, but figured I would start asking here first.

Thanks,

Garrett

What program are you using to present the NFS share? Unless it hooks into pam,
AD or some directory service, it would have its own user accounts. Check into
the documentation of the NFS server to find out where the user accounts are
managed.
