>That NFS-induced modification to the concept of UID has caused numerous >problems. There's nothing about NFS that requires that "nobody" be a negative UID; I suspect future SunOS releases, and the NFS source releases derived from them, will follow 4.xBSD and S5 and have unsigned UIDs with "nobody" becoming 65534 or something like that. >The whole issue of NFS ID mapping has been a real mess. Separate issue(s): 1) RFS-style mapping has, I think, been implemented by Cray, and 2) RFS also has, I think, the same notion of a "nobody" UID.
