I have a NFS setup between AIX 4.3.3 box & AIX 5.2 Box. I have the export setup on the AIX 5 Box & the NFS pointing to the export on the AIX 4.4.3 Box. The issue I am haveing is the Owner & group on the AIX 4.3.3 Box once I create the NFS is getting changed to something that is totally wrong. I need to get the ownser to dev & medgrp t is currantly at:
drwxrwxrwx 3 203 mnadm 10752 Oct 2 01:31 MF01

I have tried to change this on the AIX 4.3.3 Box even as root & it will not allow me to it I get the following:
# chown dev:medgrp MF01
chown: MF01: Not owner
#
# oslevel
4.3.3.0
# ls -la exp*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root system 0 Oct 3 07:22 exports
AIX 5.2 Info:
# oslevel
5.2.0.0
# cd /etc
# ls -la expo*
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root system 45 Oct 3 08:11 exports
drwxrwxrwx 3 dev medgrp 10752 Oct 2 02:31 MF01
 
Are the users and groups identical on both machines? especially the user and groups id's...I think that on machine A user dev has ID 3 and on the other machine ID 3 belongs to user mnadm , same story goes for the groups...

Well here is what I have AIX 4.3 machine dev has a uid of 203. On the AIX 5.2 machine it has a uid of 269. Curious thing though it appears that maybe the user uid rather than the actual group. I also did find an APAR referance on IBM's web site IY45904 however when I went to download it it said error & to report it.... Any other ideas would be appreciated!
