Greetings,

How should chown (or fchown) behave when used on an NFS mounted filer share?

I'm trying to set up an anonymous FTP server, using an NFS mounted directory as my file space. It works fine, until I try to configure anonymous uploading. Whenever I try this, I get a "fchown: not owner" error. I look at the code (wu-ftpd 2.6) and it looks like it fails on a series of fchown calls.

How can I expect fchown to work? Is this OS dependent? Does the filer respond to these calls in a predictable way?

I have a 720 running DataOnTap 5.3.2R1.

Thank you. Jason Ruiter Systems Administrator jruiter@erim.org
