[ale] Help! [Fwd: NFS problems]

[Jerry Yu]

	could it be the user has different numeric UID on NFS 
client/server? If this is the case,  'ls -ld /home/user' will 
show under the owner column either a number , or a user name different 
from what you expected. To make it work, you either have to match the 
numeric UID by receating the user on the client or server, or you have to 
use more permissive permission on file/directory you need access to.
