Full Discussion: File Permissions nobody:nobody

Found the problem...or, I should say, my co-worker saw the problem. We have two NICs on the server, and have addressing set up accordingly. Some time ago we had issues with the server, and it appears that I gave access to the servers with the "internal" naming convention that is supposed to be for the nim server. I was able to get to the share and do what I wanted from the "external," but then ran into the nobody:nobody file permission.

Because I was on server, sapdbw2, I changed the permission from db2 to sapdbw2 and was able to create a file/folder with the proper permissions.

I am still thinking about this, because it doesn't seem quite complete. I understand I have naming conventions that the nim server sees, and then what the rest of the world sees. Maybe I need to modify the /etc/hosts file so it doesn't matter if I have the server listed as db2 or sapdbw2.

define_cached_server

define cached server(1m)												  define cached server(1m)

NAME

       define cached server - Creates knowledge of a server in the local clerk's cache

SYNOPSIS

       cdscp define cached server name tower value

ARGUMENTS

       A  simple  name	for the cached server.	The protocol sequence and network address of the server node. The format is protocol-sequence:net-
       work-address.  A protocol-sequence is a character string identifying the network protocols used	to  establish  a  relationship	between  a
       client  and  server.   There  are  two  choices	of  protocol  sequence,  depending on the network address that is supplied in the binding:
       ncacn_ip_tcp or ncadg_ip_udp.  For the network-address, specify an Internet address using the common Internet address notation.	 For  more
       information about this format, see the RPC introduction in the DCE Application Development Reference.

DESCRIPTION

       The define cached server command creates knowledge of a server in the local clerk's cache.  This command is typically used to manually pro-
       vide configuration information to a clerk that cannot automatically configure itself.  This is required, for instance, to  give	the  clerk
       addressing information about a server across a WAN. Once the clerk knows about one server, it can find other servers through referrals.

   Privilege Required
       You must have write permission to the clerk.

NOTE

       This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

EXAMPLES

       The  following  command	creates  knowledge  of	the  server  nrl  in  the  local  clerk's  cache:  cdscp>  define  cached server nrl tower
       ncacn_ip_tcp:16.20.15.25
