Subject: Anyone having a problem with NFS and Sun OS 4.1 using Mips/Risks 4.01?

We're running Mips/Risk OS 4.01 and have recently installed Sun OS 4.1 on
several suns.  When on these suns, cd'd through NFS to the Mips, 'creat' creates
files owned by uid 65535 (-1 on the Mips).  This is the 'nobody' id.

Since we're generally not 'nobody' on the sun this makes it a little
inconvenient to work with the newly created file.

Has anyone encountered this problem?  Any solutions?   We have a call in to
a Tech Rep but would appreciate any information available.
