The original concept of nobody and nogroup was introduced by NFS, and the intent was that no file no place ever should have a uid/gid with these values, as that is what root is mapped to without a -maproot clause in the exports line. Please do NOT continue to propogate this error of actually makeing files owned by nobody or have group nogroup. -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX @ CN85sl - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
