We are running a Sun system (SunOS 4.1.1) with Sun PC-NFS.  Occasionally
files and directories are created with the wrong ownership, so they can
not be deleted by the user that created them.  This does not include
'nobody' ownership problems.  The problem seems to occur mostly (possibly
only) when a secondary NFS connection is made to another mainframe (a
CYBER 860).  Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
