exported directories' ownership changing.

exported directories' ownership changing.

[John McFerran]

The directories named in /etc/exports, exported (ro, sync), are randomly 
having their uid,gid changed to 0,0.
This appears to happen contemporaneously for all directories that were 
previously not owned by root (the
ctime's match), but I can't seem to pin down what event, if any,  on the 
nfs clients triggers the ownership change.

This is with a 2.6 kernel, doesn't happen with 2.4 kernel.

$ uname -a
Linux mcf-ws.localnet 2.6.11-6mdk #1 Tue Mar 22 16:04:32 CET 2005 i686 
Intel(R)Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz unknown GNU/Linux

I'd sure appreciate any help with tracking down this problem - I haven't 
a clue where to start.

Thanks,
John McFerran

Nevermind.

It's not NFS its cron.hourly/msec that changes ownerships without my 
permission,
