    Hi net-people,

    I just started to administrating HP 9000 series 425-T
workstations. I set one up as NFS server and others as
clients.  When I create directory on client's NFS mounted
disk at user ID root (ID=0), a created directory ID become
65534, not as root.  Friend of mind told me that this is
a feature of NFS, unix kernel will set clients root (ID=0)
ID to (ID=-2).  Is there way to modify HP unix kernel?
So, root on client can create and modify directory as root.

    Thanks for help!!

Go into adb and set the variable nobody to 0.  It is a 4 byte word so use
capital W to set the value.
