File Permissions nobody:nobody
AIX 5.3 environment. On the local system, I am sharing a jfs2 filesystem as an exported filesystem. I have many other AIX 5.3 server mounting to this file system and can create, move, copy, ... data to and from this share.
Recently, we've run into a problem. When on another system (okay, all systems except the local system), users try to create a folder or file on this "share," but the new permissions are automatically set to nobody:nobody.
It is easy enough to change the permissions, but I am not sure why this is happening now. On the local system, I was able to create a new file and folder with the proper permissions system:root. It seems as if there is a problem with the share itself. I looked through the file systems settings, NFS settings, and exported file system settings, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Has anyone come across this before?
Thanks
Casey

Is there any way that I can use the ls command to view the permissions that a group has on a file.
I know ls -l file1 will list all the permissions for file1.
Would I have to use the following command: ls -l file1

NAME
Sys::Filesystem::Aix - Return AIX filesystem information to Sys::Filesystem
SYNOPSIS
See Sys::Filesystem.
INHERITANCE
Sys::Filesystem::Aix
ISA UNIVERSAL
METHODS
version ()
Return the version of the (sub)module.
ATTRIBUTES
The following is a list of filesystem properties which may be queried as methods through the parent Sys::Filesystem object.
account
Used by the dodisk command to determine the filesystems to be processed by the accounting system.
boot
Used by the mkfs command to initialize the boot block of a new filesystem.
check
Used by the fsck command to determine the default filesystems to be checked.
dev Identifies, for local mounts, either the block special file where the filesystem resides or the file or directory to be mounted.
free
This value can be either true or false. (Obsolete and ignored).
mount
Used by the mount command to determine whether this file system should be mounted by default.
nodename
Used by the mount command to determine which node contains the remote filesystem.
size
Used by the mkfs command for reference and to build the file system.
type
Used to group related mounts.
vfs Specifies the type of mount. For example, vfs=nfs specifies the virtual filesystem being mounted is an NFS filesystem.
vol Used by the mkfs command when initializing the label on a new filesystem. The value is a volume or pack label using a maximum of 6
characters.
log The LVName must be the full path name of the filesystem logging logical volume name to which log data is written as this file system is
modified. This is only valid for journaled filesystems.
