[Klug-general] NFS + GIDs

[Peter Childs]

I've never tried this with nfs. I've always had matching ids between my
comments and server.

Have a look at http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/nfs.htm

It looks like all_squash might help. But given its using an uid from the
client I'd guess the issue is on the client. ....
