   We're seeing a very interesting bit of NFS incoherency that I haven't 
been able to explain.  Is there an explanation (or solution!) for this 
that I'm missing?

The NFS fileserver is 2.2.2-RELEASE
A webserver that wrote the file is 2.2.2-RELEASE
I'm looking at the file on 2.1.5-stable

The file is only written to on the webserver machine.

On the fileserver:

# ls -al users-db.pluto
-rw-------  1 2081  499  16138 Aug 25 23:47 users-db.pluto

On the webserver:

%ls -al users-db.pluto
-rw-------  1 ldl  webno  16138 Aug 25 23:47 users-db.pluto

On the 2.1.5-stable machine:

shell# ls -al users-db.pluto
-rw-------  1 ldl  webno  16138 Aug 25 23:47 users-db.pluto

A wc proves interesting:

On both the fileserver and the 2.2.2-stable webserver:

# wc users-db.pluto
      12    1604   15366 users-db.pluto

On the 2.1.5-stable client machine:

shell# wc users-db.pluto
       9    1323   15366 users-db.pluto

The file users-db.pluto was created by 'cp users-db users-db.pluto' on 
the webserver client machine.

I'm quite baffled.  Anyone have a suggestion?
