    Hi all,
    I have a chmod problem using an NFS-mounted filesystem.

    Client and server both 5.1B PK2

    Server (alf1) exports filesystem with -root=fm01 option

    On the client (fm01):

    fm01_root> chmod 0 /nfs/alf1/tftpboot/junk
    fm01_root> ls -l /nfs/alf1/tftpboot
    total 3
    drwxr-xr-x 33 root system 1024 Nov 26 14:58 ProX
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root system 512 Dec 8 10:46 ProY
    d--------- 2 root system 512 Dec 9 09:35 junk
    fm01_root> chmod 7777 /nfs/alf1/tftpboot/junk
    fm01_root> ls -l /nfs/alf1/tftpboot
    total 3
    drwxr-xr-x 33 root system 1024 Nov 26 14:58 ProX
    drwxr-xr-x 4 root system 512 Dec 8 10:46 ProY
    drwxrwxrwx 2 root system 512 Dec 9 09:35 junk

    i.e. the 7000 bits are not getting set. And they are not
    seen to be set at the server-end also.

    If I set them at the *server*, they are seen by the client.

    The problem goes away if the server is a Linux box, so it
    looks like a problem in the Tru64 NFS server. Are there
    any special export permissions required to permit the
    setting of these bits? I couldnt see anything obvious in
    'man exports'

    Cheers,
    Terry.
