Operating Systems BSD FreeBSD abnormal permission changes in /home Post 302521364 by Celtic_Monkey on Wednesday 11th of May 2011 04:38:10 AM

Very strange.... is the / home directory nfs shared (or mounted) elsewhere? is it subject to access by any other system (for backup purposes etc) that could possibly be changing permissions.

I'm thinking along the similar lines or un-tarring source code where the user/groupid is numerical because the source user doesn't exist on the local system. does the userid "192382" in your example exist on another system?

just stabbing in the dark here...

UMOUNT.NFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     UMOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME
umount.nfs, umount.nfs4 - unmount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
umount.nfs dir [-fvnrlh ] DESCRIPTION
umount.nfs and umount.nfs4 are a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. umount.nfs4 and umount.nfs are meant to be used by the umount(8) command for unmounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. dir is the directory on which the file system is mounted. OPTIONS
-f Force unmount the file system in case of unreachable NFS system. -v Be verbose. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip delet- ing an entry. -r In case unmounting fails, try to mount read-only. -l Lazy unmount. Detach the file system from the file system hierarchy now, and cleanup all references to the file system as soon as it is not busy anymore. -h Print help message. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and umount(8) manual pages. FILES
